I'd be interested to hear how this will affect MakerSquare. I saw the announcement and it seems like Hack Reactor is adopting a fairly laissez-faire approach. Have you seen any changes in the lead up to this? How do you think it will play out?
I agree that they are taking a laissez-faire approach. For now we will adopt their curriculum (which is great because we were moving to a JS only curriculum anyway) and their class schedule (till 8pm daily and class on Saturdays). We'll keep our name and staff as is.
We'll likely adopt their admissions process, however, we're very proud of some aspects of our process and we're looking forward to see how the two can work together.
No changes were made to any part of the program leading up to the acquisition.
Out of curiosity, how did you generate that list? I looked into doing something similar a couple months back, but i couldn't find nearly as complete of a source for syllable count.
What language specifically are you looking at monads in? If it's anything other than haskell, I can give advice, having recently had the concept click, and gone through similar frustrations.
That would be awesome, I'm using Scala and I would like to incorporate more scalaz into my programming but I have yet to find information convincing me how to go from math concept to implemented functional design pattern.
