Imma just learn scala this weekend

A functional holiday indeed

#metoo

@Jilano something with graphics would be neat, ocaml lacks a decent desktop gui framework

I stopped in the chapter about XML being a part of the language.

@ganjaman how's it going so far?

@sagar13 easier than expected, but the syntax is really weird after ocaml

@ganjaman I know, right! This is my first time learning a functional programing language with closures. I learned that in scala, while calling a function on an object, you can omit the dot preceding the function and the parantheses if the function has only one parameter!! And apparently this is a very common patter in closures..

eg: util.echo("Hello") can be invoked as util echo "Hello"

@sagar13 thats because ("asd") is basically let f = () => "asd", so it just evaluates to a string. I havent found a way to pipe yet, im really used to writing "asd" |> print.
