Comment on Give me Options or give me death
PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 4 months agoHaskell lets you infinitely recurse while still completing in finite time, and there’s even a function (fix
) for that. Doing e.g. fix (+ 2)
would be an infinite loop if evaluated, yes, but fix (2 :)
would give you a useful value that’s an infinite stream of 2s. (it’s also useful for other things too)
