can you give me a critique of https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.16291 from the point of view of a functional programmer who is skeptical
and I liked the answer. I won't post it here, because I think AI answers are generally noise and quite tiresome, but there is one sentence which stuck in my mind:
The extraordinary breadth of the claims calls for an extraordinary level of rigor in the proofs.
In the spirit of equality, I then posed this prompt:
can you give me a critique of __https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.16291__ from the point of view of a imperative programmer who wants to believe
Which resulted in the exactly opposite emotion (in me as a reader. The machine does not have emotion. It's statistics)
However, this sentence also did appeal, in a strongly pragmatic sense:
My ask to the author would be simple: show me a real, ugly, 500-line configuration or dependency-injection problem, solved cleanly in Overlay. If that holds up, I'm a convert.
I am btw, NOT a functional programmer. But, I am skeptical. And, I suspect I won't be a convert, no matter how pragmatic I feel.
The answers were quite long and detailed. I used claude.
