This is absolutely typical bog-standard left-to-right top-to-bottom structured programming type code. It also must be executed like so:
- Define the function
- Bind the variable
- Mutate the variable
- Set up a named block
- Do a conditional return
- Run a loop
- ...
The order of execution literally matches the order it's written. But not unlike almost all other languages on the planet, expressions are evaluated inside-out.
Haskell's whole raison d'etre is to allow arbitrary nesting and substitution of terms, and all or none of these terms may or may not be evaluated depending on need. De-nesting happens with a copious number of syntax to bind names to values, sometimes before the expression (via let), sometimes after the expression (via where), and sometimes in the middle of an expression (via do).
When you say multiplier, what kind of number are you talking about. Like what multiple of features shipped that don't require immediate fixes have you experienced.
It's coding at 10-20x speed, but tangibly this is at 1.5-2x the overall productivity. The coding speed up doesn't translate completely to overall velocity yet.
I am beginning to build a high degree of trust in the code Claude emits. I'm having to step in with corrections less and less, and it's single shotting entire modules 500-1k LOC, multiple files touched, without any trouble.
It can understand how frontend API translates to middleware, internal API service calls, and database queries (with a high degree of schema understanding, including joins).

He's clearly alluding the fact that the Biden admin did far worse.
The great sin of Trump's FCC was a single ill-advised tweet by FCC chair Brendan Carr... in which he threatened to enforce the law as written. For comparison, the Biden admin's FBI actively engaged in purely political media manipulation in service of the sitting president's campaign, such as when they lied to Facebook (and presumably others) to "prebunk" the Hunter's Laptop story, which directly lead to a near-total ban of a factual news story.
He wrote that the FCC wasn't a government agency. Hard to argue that is correct, or that their political pursuit of one of trump's "enemies" isn't actually political.
It was more that a tweet no, but an interview with Benny johnson, an avowed political figure paid by Russians at one point?

You're harping on a detail that hardly matters in order to avoid the broader point, which is rather silly. The FCC is a government agency. Brendan Carr made an ill-advised tweet, which doesn't hold a candle to Biden's use of the FBI to spread misinformation and induce censorship for political purposes.
> or that their political pursuit of one of trump's "enemies" isn't actually political.
Of course it's political. It's political when both sides do it.
When you're ignoring the comment talking about people arrested for criticizing a political pundit to argue about minutae and claiming "both sides are bad", yes.
You got me. I am avoiding the comment about the Perry County Police Department, as it's so incredibly damaging to my worldview. The cognitive dissonance is simply too great to bear.
Haskell and OCaml are, by comparison, not very nested.
