  Won't a data with a single, strict field behave the same?

  in reply to @ 2016-137 12:29 UTC
• singpolyma commented on Why use newtype? at Reddit, saying

  A data with one constructor that takes on strict argument could be optimised in this wauy (I think). Otherwise the "optimisations" would add strictness where the programmer didn't expect it.

• singpolyma commented on What has Rust borrowed? at Reddit, saying

  Rust is not really a high-level language, though. I'm not sure a comparison would be fair. I love rust, for systems and other low-level stuff, but Haskell remains my go-to for quickly banging out apps

  gNewSense unfortunately only just started work on the lastes (year old) debian stable. I'm hoping the system gets standardised and documented so that more people can help and it can stay a bit more up-to-date.

  For now, Trisquel is pretty good.

  Doesn't prevent sniffing at non-wifi nodes (that is: the whole rest of the Internet) so the traffic (if not end-to-end protected) is still visible to anyone putting in a little effort.
