A neural network forward function in #Haskell 😍

Ant trails unlocked! I had to cheat a little and give them 2 different brains for foraging and returning. What you see is the result of 3 days of training. #Haskell #RayLib #Gamedev

The genetic algorithm for training the ant neural network brains is working! However, they're not making trails, so their movement doesn't remind me of ants yet... #Haskell #Raylib #Gamedev

Hey #Haskell, should I switch to inline function signatures? I kind of like it so it's a serious question. add (x :: a) (y :: a) = res :: (Num a) => a where res = x + y

This book is SPECTACULAR for visual learners!

Ants with neural network brains! (Still untrained.) Watch them react to the food. That's because they can "see" it! A genetic algorithm to train their brains is next. #Haskell #RayLib #Gamedev

Ants with a random brain. Neural network brains are being worked on... #Haskell #RayLib #gamedev

Why is refactoring not called factoring? 🤔

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're working on GHC and you're not working on improving the ergonomics of records, you're working on the wrong thing. #Haskell

Now do Haskell. Godspeed.

I had the opportunity to mutate some shared state at work today. It would have been sooo easy. Luckily, I changed my mind and threaded the state through like a good boy.

Terrific talk! I would characterize what's happening as Procedural being a middle ground between OO and FP. Perhaps a stepping stone on the way to full FP? Also, there's a nice trend towards "orthogonal" features. The bits about Borders and JS's new logo cracked me up! 🤣

Does this graphical notation make recursion easier to understand? 🤔 #Haskell #Graphviz

Static types are like dogs: dependable, great at catching things, and help you feel more secure. Dynamic types are like cats: flexible, full of surprises, and often break things when you’re not paying attention.

Playing around with Graphviz today and I really like where this is going! I want to eventually generate these diagrams directly from #Haskell code. Does something like this already exist?

In other words, C-based syntax has some redundancy that helps with readability.

Unpopular opinion: I’m starting to think that C-based syntax is objectively easier to read than ML-based syntax. Using a space for function application makes it difficult to discern function calls from values at a glance. Right? #Haskell #OCaml

I've started using OverloadedRecordDot in my personal project. And I'm using NoFieldSelectors in my Types module to force the use of OverloadedRecordDot everywhere. Is this a good idea? If not, why? #Haskell

The pretty-simple #Haskell package is pretty dope! https://t.co/yIQNgBatXf

What’s the difference between refactoring and DRYing up code?
