    Maybe let’s just say that you and I have different senses of humour and leave it at that.

    For me, the humour comes from the fact that I pretended not to understand the image and point out that there are no plugs in the image. It’s a bit of wordplay that relies on the fact that people sometimes call plug sockets plugs.






  • Agree it’s an issue, but in my builds most of the complexity in telling how things fit together is because of chains of several combinators.

    It looks like the update is going to allow for much more complexity to be expressed in a smaller number of combinators, which should mitigate the issues somewhat.

    As a software dev, the biggest thing for me in this update is that it makes combinators more like how I think of things in terms of programming paradigms. When I first came across combinators, I tried to treat them like logic gates. Eventually, I realised they’re a different thing entirely.
