2026-01-22 13:27:22 +0100 <oskarw> __monty__: Can I learn some MU beforehand? Or this langauge exist only inside company?
2026-01-22 13:26:08 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: xD
2026-01-22 13:25:59 +0100 <__monty__> Isn't Mu eager rather than lazy? That's a pretty big difference from Haskell, no?
2026-01-22 13:25:43 +0100 <oskarw> Now I feel like impostor xd
2026-01-22 13:25:34 +0100 <oskarw> I will check his site
2026-01-22 13:25:08 +0100 <oskarw> Aaa xd
2026-01-22 13:24:56 +0100 <gentauro> xD
2026-01-22 13:24:55 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: I though you were -> https://wickstrom.tech/
2026-01-22 13:24:51 +0100 <oskarw> I would be salty if I was named Oskar instead of Ansgar being born as Swede
2026-01-22 13:24:32 +0100 <[exa]> oskarw: btw the good point for interviews is that if you already know some haskell you're basically guaranteed fast learner :D
2026-01-22 13:23:52 +0100 <gentauro> oh, my bad
2026-01-22 13:23:20 +0100 <oskarw> No, I'm from Poland
2026-01-22 13:23:08 +0100trickard_trickard
2026-01-22 13:23:04 +0100 <oskarw> [exa]: Probably true
2026-01-22 13:23:03 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: but you are swede right? ;)
2026-01-22 13:22:49 +0100 <oskarw> *unfortunately
2026-01-22 13:22:21 +0100 <oskarw> gentauro: Unfortuneteller no, oskarw is just my name with first letter of surname
2026-01-22 13:22:20 +0100qqq(~qqq@185.54.21.105)
2026-01-22 13:21:32 +0100 <[exa]> oskarw: most of the competition has issues catching up with the fact that they'd even use haskell
2026-01-22 13:21:10 +0100 <oskarw> I think lawyers think this would be just copy-paste
2026-01-22 13:21:05 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: inferring from your name, are you the one that made "Idris in PureScript"? :)
2026-01-22 13:20:35 +0100 <oskarw> I'm always curios how fast would competition "catch up" to using custom variant of haskell
2026-01-22 13:20:00 +0100 <oskarw> gentauro: This is fair, but it is still sad
2026-01-22 13:19:33 +0100 <gentauro> (not ideal though)
2026-01-22 13:19:22 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: they pay "our bills" so "they decide". I think it's fair ;)
2026-01-22 13:19:02 +0100 <oskarw> So sad, but what we can do about it
2026-01-22 13:18:29 +0100 <gentauro> welcome to corpo world xD
2026-01-22 13:18:25 +0100 <oskarw> And for one moment I though about security by obscurity or something
2026-01-22 13:18:23 +0100 <gentauro> I was working on a FP-project. We gave the talk showcasing it. All the attendees "voted" (by raising their hand) to "open source it". Next day, legal said: No
2026-01-22 13:17:43 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: profits ;)
2026-01-22 13:17:33 +0100 <oskarw> merijn: Do you know what is stoping lawyers to open source MU?
2026-01-22 13:17:06 +0100 <gentauro> I guess they make a ton of money. Everytime I see Liverpool FC play, I kind of giggle -> https://www.liverpoolfc.com/corporate/partners
2026-01-22 13:16:44 +0100 <oskarw> merijn: Nevertheless there are surely some algorithm or general bussines knowladge I can learn beforehand
2026-01-22 13:16:42 +0100 <gentauro> merijn: :'(
2026-01-22 13:15:58 +0100 <merijn> Lennart wrote it and has (so far) not managed to get the lawyers to ok publishing the compiler, and I'm salty about that
2026-01-22 13:15:44 +0100Googulator43(~Googulato@2a01-036d-0106-030a-8d41-f550-2a4f-1a91.pool6.digikabel.hu)
2026-01-22 13:15:41 +0100 <gentauro> right?
2026-01-22 13:15:34 +0100 <gentauro> however, they do use Haskell
2026-01-22 13:15:33 +0100 <merijn> Yes, Mu
2026-01-22 13:15:31 +0100 <oskarw> [exa]: I will also bruch up my knowladge about concurrent programming. I've done project in haskell about concurrent programming, but I forgot some of the stuff
2026-01-22 13:15:30 +0100Googulator43(~Googulato@2a01-036d-0106-030a-8d41-f550-2a4f-1a91.pool6.digikabel.hu) (Quit: Client closed)
2026-01-22 13:15:29 +0100 <gentauro> merijn: they have their own compiler right?
2026-01-22 13:14:50 +0100 <merijn> I mean, Standard Chartered doesn't even use GHC (or at least not exclusively), so that makes preparing ahead of time even trickier :p
2026-01-22 13:14:19 +0100 <oskarw> merijn: Yes, its Standard Chartered
2026-01-22 13:13:58 +0100 <merijn> Is that Standard Chartered? Or another one?
2026-01-22 13:13:55 +0100 <oskarw> What do you mean by raw networking?
2026-01-22 13:13:17 +0100 <[exa]> and maybe some actual number crunchery (repa/accelerate?))
2026-01-22 13:12:50 +0100 <[exa]> otoh there's almost surely gonna be networking, if you've never done raw networking you could try a bit in advance
2026-01-22 13:12:14 +0100 <[exa]> like, I'd assume that company like that will have their own non-public stack for stuff so likely hard to learn in advance
2026-01-22 13:11:39 +0100 <oskarw> Generally algorithms for financial market
