But remember that this text is too lightly interpreted. It is constantly assured, especially in our Tolstoyan tendencies, that when the lion lies down with the lamb the lion becomes lamb-like. But that is brutal annexation and imperialism on the part of the lamb. That is simply the lamb absorbing the lion instead of the lion eating the lamb. The real problem is—Can the lion lie down with the lamb and still retain his royal ferocity? THAT is the problem the Church attempted; THAT is the miracle she achieved.
Hey there,
ReplyDeleteSo ahh, I'm a programmer interested in FRP, in my early twenties and I also recently read "Orthodoxy". What are the chances?
Though I suspect we differ in our mastery of Haskell. I'm just beginning, I've been working through http://learnyouahaskell.com/ but it doesn't really seem to have much of an emphasis on FRP. Can you recommend any resources?
Hey. As far as learning FRP goes, there's a lot out there and none of it is terribly good. It's not really being used yet, it's mostly just research into a new (for some value of new) abstraction, and a decidedly tricky one to get right. There are several variations on FRP, but you wouldn't do too badly to look for tutorials on reactive-banana (one of the common Haskell FRP libraries) and to google for the report "Arrows, Robots, and Functional Reactive Programming."
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place to get started, thanks!
