Bartosz Milewski is a C++ programmer and a Haskell fan. He once
gave a presentation at NWCPP where he wrote a few lines of
Haskell code. Then, he showed the same code written using C++
template metaprogramming.
The Haskell bits in the C++ code were highlighted in red. It
was like a sea of grass with a shrubbery here and there.
Interestingly, by comparing the red dots in the C++ code with
the Haskell code, you could understand what the C++ was doing.
Without the red highlighting, it was a hopeless wall of < > :-)
Since I mention Bartosz, I should link to his blog:
https://bartoszmilewski.com/
It was an article on Bartosz's blog where I first found out about
D. I think this was the first one:
"The more things change, the more we need “immutable”"
