Practice what you preach

In light of the recent debate on functional programming, monads, their true meaning and what have you, I have found my own ramblings embarrassing and decided to take them down from my blog. Someone is wrong on the Internet, but it does not have to be me anymore.

The decision applies in particular to my Atacama project — a half-baked attempt at inventing yet another programming notation, of concatenative and pure functional nature. I have not, though, given up the project completely, but I have to be more careful for the future, more accurate in what I write, and how. I'm going to rewrite it from scratch, with more attention to the mathematical foundations of the notation, and perhaps spare you certain bits and pieces from my inner monologue. It is going to take a lot more time, but I consider it worth it.
