A Downfall-style parody in which Hitler rages about functional programming concepts such as monads and Haskell. It runs about four minutes.

Shared purely for laughs in functional programming and Haskell threads, as a well-loved programmer meme.

As someone who respects functional programming (because it removes geniuses from competing in my space) here's a nice video [VIDEO] What is the beautiful monospace font in the pdf here [LINK] ?

> here's a nice video [VIDEO] This made me laugh way more than it should have. "Why don't you pattern match my fist all over your faces!"

> here's a nice video [VIDEO] OMG. That might just be the funniest god-damned thing I've ever seen in my life. Thanks for sharing that! On a separate note: does anyone know where this footage is originally from? Some WWII movie, I would guess?

Whenever I see Milewski’s name I immediately think of this video: [VIDEO] It’s a shame I don’t know that many people who’d enjoy it as much as I do!

I recommend not watching this and searching for the FP / Haskell version of this. It is really funny and much more clever imo Edit: [VIDEO]

I don't know why but the first thing that came into my mind was this video. Btw I love Haskell. [VIDEO]

They come up because people who don't understand them think they are important and people who do understand them want other people to know. Also, speaking of memes: [VIDEO]

Anytime I see Monads or Monoids in the title I am obligated to share one of the greatest YouTube videos of all time :) [VIDEO]
