UUID, as the name implies, is used for identifiers - You know this.

These use-cases you're implying seem to be the real problem.

unreadable title - jesus! :P

it's sort of funny - I expect Java in the browser not to work well (as it didn't, historically)... And sure enough - the site returns a 502 error :P

provocative blanket statements like "the real world is immutable" (or otherwise) aren't correct, nor healthy.

Some problems are more easily dealt with using tools like immutability, or mutation for that matter.

as with all things in software - it depends.

> The root cause of bad software has less to do with specific engineering choices, and more to do with how development projects are managed.

...While I do agree that "project-management" is important, I think the tools we are using today are really underpowered to deal with complexity/human-error - Which is the bigger problem IMO.

I have a beef with the title of this library...

When people write "persons", my head starts spinning.

YES - thank you!

My clients get to render their own html - it's not really that bad if you bundle, split and cache the code.

Fear-mongering?

I'm coming at this from the Elm-camp, and my first impression (and largely why I think languages like Elm is promising) is how languages that are implemented as supersets of other languages have the potential to be as bad as their subsets.

The example that I was given was C++ and C, but I think TypeScript with it's gradual-typing approach is forced to remain potentially as bad as JavaScript itself - that is, if you're feeling weak and want to "get shit done", you can bypass all the goodness that TypeScript undeniably offers you.

For a language like Elm, the type-system is invariably gonna have your back - a value-proposition I think means a lot more in practice than some self-proclaimed pragmatists realize :)

Haha - I'm simply stating that I'm excited to do it and not for it to be possible :P

C# & Java has anonymous functions, but not 1st-class functions AFAIK

EDIT: but then again, they truely are of no use :P hehe

I'm excited to use higher-order functions in C someday :)
