Watches Computerphile, thinks it's actual programming

What is this even supposed to imply

[–] call_me_xale@lemmy.zip 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm kinda confused by that one too—Computerphile is CS theory, not software engineering.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 15 points 2 days ago

I think, the point is Haskell is more CS theoretical than practical language and anyone who uses it (or any other FP) has never written a single line of production code (the last statement is even in the meme)

Personally, I love that series. I guess whoever made this meme thinks people who watch the show are trying to implement their code examples in production.
