Seriously, why are we still focused on these nitty-gritty details of programming the computers ? when we should be spending most of our time and efforts in training and helping AI to do this thankless job ? You said it well, we should just describe the problem and desired outcome to a computer programming machine to let it figure out how to turn everything into workable machine language codes … Look at Google Home .. It used to require homeowners to write a script as to how, when and what sensors and actuators should be put together to work for the home .. Now they could simply talk to Google’s AI chatbot to have a question and answer session so that the scripting is automatically done by Google and installed in the home .. To learn computer programming languages today is like to learn old Viking pirate languages back in the good old days .. or like using huge riveting machines to build the steamships like the Titanic .. when shipbuilding uses welding almost exclusively .. today ..
As with any functional vs oop discussion, this intentionally puts up a badly writing code as a strawman argument against oop. Come on. Can people talk about functional on its own merits without attacking the others?
Ya I agree. FP is taught very poorly to beginners. Hyper focused on recursion when you never even use recursion outside of library implementations. And spend more time talking about OOP than showing how fp is special. The real issue too is what people call OOP is really just procedural with objects on top
Hello everyone, Thank you for this lecture series. They seem to be very useful for me as a programming beginner. I have a question: Was this recorded 10 months ago? For some reason it looks much older than that. Thanks.
For a second I thought it had recorded in Turkish entirely, but I skip the video a little further and figured it out that the lecture is in English. Great! HTDP is an amazing book not just to functional programming techniques, but mainly to learn how to design solutions to problems via programs.
What a find! HtDP is a great book and I'm happy that I stumbled upon these lectures. The first minute and a half or so are in Turkish but then the lecturer begins to speak English. Awesome!
