  • It still can panic/abort and deadlock/wait infinitely long on most fp languages because that’s typically implied. And there isn’t actually a way around that because computation almost always can fail or block indefinitely - and if you have a total language you can implement waits for billions of years, which for all practical purposes is “infinitely” long on human time scales.

    👍 That was actually one of the reasons why I wrote this blog post. I wanted to compile a list of points that show as clear as humanity possible that there is no consensus here, even amongst experts.

    That probably won’t convince everybody but if that won’t probably nothing will.
