Programming in Haskell certainly makes me feel gay. define gay cheery: bright and pleasant; promoting a feeling of cheer; "a cheery hello"; "a gay sunny room"; "a sunny smile"

I'm sure there's some theory about fags being unable to use tools and stuff. It certainly cannot be anything to do with cultural pressure. Perhaps it is easy to mistake a male-dominated field for one that males are intrinsically good at, but really, have a look at the Y chromosome, it does nobody any favours. Gender is hormonal.

I'd rather look at the Y combinator, which kind of resembles a penis: Y = \ f -> (\x -> f (x x)) (\x -> f (x x)) Greets, Ertugrul -- nightmare = unsafePerformIO (getWrongWife >>= sex) http://blog.ertes.de/

I suppose it's easy to miss the underlying sexism when you aren't affected by it. 2010/3/28 Günther Schmidt

Hi guys,

judging by the responses so far it seems that the gay haskellers have more balls than the female haskellers to come out of the closet.

Uhm.

Hi Fraser, hi all,

one thing I did notice is the total absence of a sense of humor on this list. The only funny thing that on this list was "Don't play with your monads ..."

Yes, us humourless feminists have clearly poisoned the list as a whole. As the Reverend Spooner would have put it, your shining wit is entirely underappreciated.

And I certainly will keep doing so and enjoy it. :) While everyone is getting excited and getting their knickers in a twist I have a great time. I point and laugh at them.

This is an open admission of trolling, of course. I wonder whether your exaggerated sense of others' behaviour applies elsewhere - did someone grudgingly concede that your jokes were alright once upon a time?

It's even more fun to make a joke and see people not getting it, far more so actually.

Yeah, funny thing? You're making a joke of yourself as you do it. -- flippa@flippac.org

Uhm.

So we can expect childish comments for not displaying ourselves on demand now? Good to know.

G'day all. Am 28.03.10 23:25, schrieb Ketil Malde:

Look, Günther, I'll give you credit for trying, but you might as well accept the fact that using Haskell isn't going to get you laid.

For what it's worth, I got away with naming a daughter "Miranda". Cheers, Andrew Bromage
