Better Living through Software

Listening to Rabbit in the Moon’s newest CD for the first time as I convert my puzzle solver to F#.  I mentioned RITM before on this blog — they blow Underworld away.  Like a combination of MBM and Underworld, but pure and powerful like F#.  Takes me back to chocolate at the union and Tandyn and Manish.

I fall in love with RITM’s latest like I fall in love with F#.  Who can love “Two Months Off” the same as before when you have “Mind Fuct” to occupy its place (or is it “Outer Body Experience” you love more)?  The Gorillaz song is a weak-ass rip-off of Timebomb.  Who can love C# 3.0 when everything in F# is immutable?

People like Wes Dyer and Eric Lippert know the feeling, when you instantly love the implementation of sum():

let rec sum list =
    match list with
    | h::tail -> (sum tail) + h
    | [] -> 0

F# is poetics, RITM is poetics, Aristotle is poetics.
