Indeed, conceptually there's little difference.

I may have misunderstood you, but usually when people bring up Fluent Interfaces, the main value is discovery. By entering a dot, an IDE can list possible methods you can call.

You don't get that with idiomatic F# or Haskell.

It might have been worth mentioning too. That part is syntax-dependent, though. It works in languages that encourage 'dot-driven development', but not so much in others, like F# or Haskell.

True, I forgot about that, but that should have been included as well.

This post, btw, rounded a corner of a sorts.

There used to be more 'engagement' in the past. People would repost, respond, or comment on SoMe (mostly Twitter), and believe it or not, add comments to the articles themselves.

There's not much of that left now. A bit, but noticeably less than a few years ago.

Thank you, that's good to hear.

To be honest, blogging increasingly feels like no-one's reading...

Not quite, but on the other hand, I currently don't actively seek conference appearance. I'll come if invited and we can agree on terms.
