>I accept that I will be downvoted for this.

Why would that happen? Ignorantly bashing haskell strawmen is pretty common here. Btw, while you hit two of the biggest ones, you did forget to complain about it being "academic" and thus unusable for "real world" programming. That should be pretty much standard by now.

>It's sad that we should expect Haskell users to be chauvinistic about static typing.

We don't expect that. We expect them to recognize that better type systems are better than worse type systems. Which seems pretty obvious when stated that way.

>I have yet to read anyone who advocates for dynamic typing describe static typing as a "flaw".

Try looking on the internet. Every "static vs dynamic" argument has 99% of the dynamic side arguing that static typing is bad because java's type system limits them and doesn't prevent any bugs.

>Welcome to the world of languages with type systems that don't suck

Go is not in that world. It isn't even in the same star system.

If there's one thing SLWs hate, it is other SLWs.

He also gets a lot wrong in that talk, so that doesn't seem like a particularly compelling case.

>If anything it's the old "Goto statement considered harmful" that's a little too naive.

No, people who didn't read it and just repeat the title without knowing what he was talking about may be too naive, but the original point was not.

>You can do that with ctags

And I can do it without ctags. That's the point.

>Depends, one proeminent C project doesn't use that: the linux kernel

That doesn't make his statement "depends" at all. A single project not using that style does not contradict it being "pretty common".

Are you sure you aren't confusing it with K&R style with the argument names on a different line? That would indicate old code. Having the return type on a different line is incredibly common, virtually every C project with decent code uses it.

Odd. I have cookies disabled period, and only enable them for specific domains where I want to log in to something. I still get constant ads on youtube unless I use an ad blocker.
