I am wondering if #Haskell is worth bothering with... I've just written some code to solve a problem in it. And the best solution I could devise was the functional equivalent of a "do while" loop.

It was a solution to https://adventofcode.com/2018/day/10

It goes around a loop modifying a List of points, until the area of the points bounding box reaches a local minimum.

It just doesn't seem very functional. but I can't think of a better way to do this.

@dheadshot it was just one reporter, "formerly known as..." re Assange in the news

Is #Haskell worth bothering with ?

I like straight guys. Just putting that out their.. in case there is any confusion

@ItsTheManOnTheMoon imagine answering a call from someone who hasn't signal messaged before

My code is like this https://xkcd.com/2138/

@tealturtle I am worried for them. I mean, it will be OK in the short term. They will get locked up for a day, and let out. They will not get beaten up or physically injured.

But, I worry, about the fines and bail conditions and things.

@tealturtle they are in London for the last few days at the Climate change protest event.

They just messaged, saying that they were about to get arrested, and have turned their phone off now.

My friend just got arrested :-(

I suppose I should be pleased. A execution time from 11min -> 0.1 sec

This functional programming malarky seems a bit dangerous. Making everything stateless and recursive seems nice, but picking the correct data structures and choices makes a huge difference.

Ok, I made some changes, and it does the first part in a 0.1s now, and the second part in 7s.

However the code looks very much like an imperative language now. There is a loop over a list inside which we do things, and use the State Monad to change things.

The result is still slower than Python and less readable now.
