| 13:15 <xQuasar> | JAVASCRIPT FOR LIFE FAGS | |
| 13:16 <luite> | hello | |
| 13:16 <ChongLi> | somebody has a mental illness! | |
| 13:16 <merijn> | Wow...I suddenly see the error of my ways and feel | |
| | compelled to write Node.js! | |
| 13:16 <genisage> | hi | |
| 13:16 <luite> | you might be pleased to learn that you can compile | |
| | haskell to javascript now | |

| 13:18 <xQuasar> | FUCK YOU AND YOUR HUSSY OPS | |
| 13:18 <xQuasar> | THEY CAN'T DO SHIT TO ME CUNTS | |
| 13:18 <quchen> | xQuasar: While I don't think anything is wrong with | |
| | faggots to the point where "faggot" isn't insulting | |
| | anymore, I assure you we have heterosexuals in our | |
| | language as well. | |
| 13:18 <quchen> | Haskell is invariant under gender. Really! | |
| 13:18 <Iceland_jack> | quchen++ | |
| 13:18 <merijn> | I don't blame him, I'd be this angry to if I had to write | |
| | javascript all day too | |
| 13:19 <xQuasar> | FUCK YOU STRAIGHT CUNTS | |
| 13:19 <xQuasar> | BESTIALITY IS THE BEST | |
| 13:19 <quchen> | merijn: Lol. And when I write that I mean it :D | |
| 13:19 <quchen> | xQuasar: Do you have any specific questions? | |
| 13:20 <merijn> | This is sort of like a puppy trying to be angry with | |
| | you...it's just kinda adorable to see him think he has | |
| | any effect :) | |
| 13:20 <quchen> | xQuasar: You're offtopic right now. This is a Haskell | |
| | help channel. Do you have Haskell questions? | |
| 13:20 <quchen> | xQuasar: We'd love to help you make your first steps. | |
| 13:20 <tsinnema> | hey -- is there a proper way to whine about no one having | |
| | responded to a question? :) | |
| 13:20 <xQuasar> | i just want to get kicked out of a bunch of channels for | |
| | fun | |
| 13:20 <quchen> | Have you seen LYAH? It's a very enjoyable book on | |
| | Haskell. It also has a reputation of being very | |
| | uplifting. | |
| 13:20 <quchen> | @where lyah | |
| 13:20 <xQuasar> | why is no one cooperating with me | |
| 13:20 <lambdabot> | http://www.learnyouahaskell.com/ | |
| 13:21 <tsinnema> | in soviet russia, haskell learns a you | |
| 13:21 <merijn> | tsinnema: Yeah, wait 30 minutes or more and try again :) | |
| 13:21 <Iceland_jack> | xQuasar: We are cooperating with you, you're just not | |
| | aware that your goal is learning Haskell | |
| 13:21 <ChongLi> | xQuasar: why not learn some Haskell instead? | |
| 13:21 <xQuasar> | alright i'll admit i lose | |
| 13:21 <merijn> | Ha, sometimes I forget how hard it is to troll haskell :) | |
| 13:21 <nxorg8> | #haskell is awesome :-) | |
| 13:21 <xQuasar> | what's haskell good for though | |
| 13:21 <quchen> | xQuasar: But there is so much to win here! | |
| 13:21 <xQuasar> | i'm more into gamedev | |
| 13:21 <Iceland_jack> | figures | |
| 13:21 <arkeet> | it's good for writing programs. | |
| 13:22 <xQuasar> | what kind of programs? | |
| 13:22 <ChongLi> | xQuasar: any kind | |
| 13:22 <arkeet> | "what's C++ good for?" | |
| 13:22 <Iceland_jack> | xQuasar: The ones that run on comput-ars. | |
| 13:22 <ChongLi> | it's a general purpose language | |
| 13:22 <luite> | xQuasar: frp can be useful for writing games, and with | |
| | ghcjs you can compile them to javascript to make web | |
| | games | |
| 13:22 <tsinnema> | merijn, yeah, seems reasonable :) | |
| 13:22 <ChongLi> | seriously though, if you learn it you may completely | |
| | change your perspective on programming | |
| 13:22 <xQuasar> | i have absolutely no idea what frp and ghcjs are | |
| 13:22 <snowylike> | and there's HGamer3D.... | |
| 13:22 <luite> | i tested reactive-banana with ghcjs last week, works now, | |
| | and sodium was already supported | |
| 13:23 <ChongLi> | that's okay | |
| 13:23 <xQuasar> | I'm assuming haskell is nothing like c++, php and java? | |
| | because that's all i know so far | |
| 13:23 <luite> | xQuasar: functional reactive progarmming, and a | |
| | haskell->javascript compiler based on ghc | |
| 13:23 <Iceland_jack> | Haskell is very different from C++ and PHP | |
| 13:23 <Iceland_jack> | (and Java…) | |
| 13:23 <merijn> | tsinnema: As far as left union goes, I assume | |
| | (I'm not 100% sure) that it does union and inn case a | |
| | label is in both lists it keeps the value from the label | |
| | in the left list | |
| 13:23 <xQuasar> | it looks difficult | |
| 13:23 <tsinnema> | merijn, thanks -- that | |
| 13:23 <tsinnema> | afaef | |
| 13:24 <ChongLi> | xQuasar: even if you decide not to use Haskell in the | |
| | future, having learnt it you may find new things to apply | |
| | in your other languages | |
| 13:24 <Iceland_jack> | xQuasar: C is difficult in a non-rewarding way while | |
| | Haskell is difficult in very rewarding ways, imo. | |
| 13:25 <quchen> | xQuasar: It's a little about relearning how to program. | |
| | Like learning a language from the other side of the | |
| | planet that turns out to work well in your homecountry ;-) | |
| 13:26 <xQuasar> | i can't believe my attempt to troll has actually got me | |
| | convinced that i should give haskell a go | |
| 13:26 <xQuasar> | i shall be back later | |
| 13:26 <xQuasar> | to actually learn some haskell | |
| 13:27 <ChongLi> | xQuasar: haha, okay | |
| 13:27 <xQuasar> | but now i must rest my weary head and recover from my | |
| | cold o/ | |
| 13:27 <xQuasar> | Iceland_jack: you know, I wouldn't be surprised if you | |
| | were able to. | |
| 13:28 <xQuasar> | Man, I tried to troll like 10 channels and I only got | |
| | kicked from #bitcoin-dev | |
| 13:28 <xQuasar> | I'm probably the biggest failure of a troll ever. | |
| 13:28 <ChongLi> | xQuasar: you may have had more success at a different | |
| | time of day | |
| 13:28 <Iceland_jack> | xQuasar: You'll make up for it by kicking ass in Haskell | |
| 13:30 <xQuasar> | Alright thanks guys, I'll be back later to actually learn | |
| | some haskell for real |
Priceless
13:21 < merijn> Ha, sometimes I forget how hard it is to troll haskell :)
awesome!
13:21 < Iceland_jack> xQuasar: We are cooperating with you, you're just not
aware that your goal is learning Haskell
:) So good.
wat.
Nice community
Great responses!
:DD
This is the channel that finally broke the troll's back. And converted the troll into an enlightened troll.
Magic.
I am wondering why I got little response when I asked a question in #haskell. Maybe I should try another time of day.
It actually convinced me too. Oh wait. Sigh...
This is a koan. Well, a long one.
👍 Now, we should lock the haskellers, the lispers, and the schemers in a room together, and see who can proselytize the best :-D.
No contest ;)
Lol, maybe I should pickup haskell as a summer project, too.
This is stupid as fuck.
This is how you tame and convert trolls
Us Julia proselytizers can hold our own with Haskell ones ;-) (I think a lot of us actually respect Haskell a lot, BTW)
Now I know what to do if another JW comes by the house - invite them in for tea and Julia!
Dude, that's so hilarious. Love it. I'm so mirroring this for my own use.
Did anyone ever follow up with <xQuasar> to see how it went?
I think @ghost wants to learn Haskell too
So we need to coin fake-troll.
Where do I open my fake troll factory then? Maybe in Cambridge?
Actually you can open troll factories in #java.
lol
13:21 | in soviet russia, haskell learns a you
:3
lol...

There was also a cute note later about haskellers' ability to sell Haskell to Jehovah's Witnesses:
