My favorite feature is how currying is applied literally everywhere. You can take any function that accepts 2 args, pass in a single arg and return a new function that accepts one arg and produces the result. In Haskell, this is handled automatically. Once you wrap your head around using partially applied and fully saturated functions you can really start to see the power behind languages like Haskell

I’ve been learning Haskell, and now I won’t shut up about Haskell

To each their own, but I am having fun. I definitely understand more about them than I have before now

Just picked it up for myself after bouncing off fighting games my entire life and this one finally feels like it bridges that gap of being incredibly accessible for absolute trash while maintaining an incredibly impenetrable upper echelon of performance. And it just looks so incredible

The volume of cars is a scale factor that determines the impact of traffic causing behaviors and conditions for free flowing highways (no traffic lights, stop signs, etc.). Following too closely and improper lane changing are two specific behaviors that actually create slow downs. There are numerous models that simulate this.

I came here to point this out and love the way you stated it. Confusion, hesitation and unnecessary lane changes are what create traffic. There has never been a major highway development in history that didn’t cause at least some short term issues. We should give city planners a bit more credit than that

It’s an endless cycle. You work hard to enforce your ideals, then when you have the power to make decisions you realize how dependent you are on others to facilitate action.
