Nix installs packages independently of what’s been installed, so you’ll get the exact same result if you skip 0 updates or 500.

All the mods are processed hostside; the block info and etc. is sent over the network. This limits what can be delegated to clients, but lets joining completely ignore your mods, making it incredibly easy. Installing mods is also a few clicks, and there’s a built-in mod browser. Finding mods is the hard part. (also games are effectively modpacks)

If you’ve used a parser library’s recursive parser, you have infinite calls right there. If it supplies a recursive-parser function, that function is a type-limited equivalent to
fix
, which performs the infinite call operation. Your Rust library most likely implements recursion using hidden mutability, but in Haskell, your parsers can remain infinitely-recursive while still referencing themselves and immutable.Also, we get to ask people if they know what a monad is.
- Comment on Give me Options or give me death 4 months ago:
Haskell 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, butfix (2 :)
would give you a useful value that’s an infinite stream of 2s. (it’s also useful for other things too) - Comment on Give me Options or give me death 4 months ago:
You can’t random-access an iterator and use it again later. Can Rust compute the value of calling a function an infinite number of times?

Neither does Haskell, and Haskell won’t waste time doing something that doesn’t matter.
