I think this is an unfair opinion of Gren.

In the past, while using Elm, if you wanted to support some browser API that Elm didn't support yet you would have to fallback to kernel code. What Elm wanted: a core package that provided this low-level kernel package that provided typesafety at the Elm level. But as we know, this was a pipe dream because you could never contribute to Elm unless it was from the Elm dictator itself, or from his inner circle of cool people.

It seems like Gren is already ahead of this. Gren has community members actively working on the Websocket API to provide a typesafe core package with Kernel bindings.

The question is: will Gren keep being open to contributors that can provide kernel code.

I wish Shopify would hire more engineering related workers in EU. Support for European payment methods in Shopify API is horrible and I would love to put it work to get more EU payment method support in the Checkout API.

Not trying to be condescending but the styling of this page is all over the place. Lists indenting weirdly, code blocks not aligned or indented. Makes it very hard to read.

It didn't help that the argument order of some functions were specifically written to be used in backticks (like `andThen`). So I had to litter `flip` everywhere to use the pipe syntax. Evan flipped the arguments in 0.18 and now I can just `:%s/flip andThen/andThen`.

I'm pretty sure that Google's core functionality is ads

You have got to be kidding me... So we're completely going to ignore that everyone is still using Google as a search engine, and not ads? You're making things up just to get your point across.

exizt88 is correct. I can't swipe to go back a page. And if I swipe up, the page seems to want to continue scrolling at the same speed, it feels different and not fluent.

Having to deal with mangled symbols is pretty annoying. Is it not possible to give a directive to the Swift compiler to disable mangling? Like rust has:

    #[no_mangle]

Exactly. I've been doing some research on Haskell, but Cabal is making it quite difficult for me. I've been dealing with a lot of dependency version mismatches when using sandboxes... I'll definitely give Stack a try after reading this.

As a software developer who also started learning Mathematics for the same purpose (Machine Learning), I just could not do it with books. It is strange to explain, but I need someone with me to study.

I need that person to say: "I don't understand it". Even if I don't understand it myself, as I try explaining it to my study partner, it starts clicking in my brain. I suddenly start to understand these parts as I'm explaining it. Hands down the best way for me to learn: explain to others.

Hi Steve, the pull request has not been merged yet as tests are failing. The blog post reads as if it's in master right now, which it does not seem to be.
