And the whole idea made it into a 2014 paper "The F# computation expression zoo": tomasp.net/academic/pap...

Now that #fsharp has "let! .. and!" for tasks, maybe it's time to add "match!" too.. 😉

We even had a web-based version of this so you could run the code in a web browser using Silverlight (!) tryjoinads.org

The web-based version built a bit later had a revised syntax and also added "let! .. and" for applicative functors.

I worked on "match!" to #fsharp back in 2008/9 during an internship with @dsyme.bsky.social and parallel tasks was one example in my MSc thesis: tomasp.net/academic/the... (p. 78).

"match!" had the extra feature that you could do short-circuiting - so "_" means the task doesn't have to finish...

Come to the train station 5 minutes earlier so that you can get a coffee before boarding :-).

But getting the train tickets should be much easier than it is. Which operator you book with determines where you can get a seat reservation in a funny way...

Phlogiston scientists might be offended by this!

There's a curious debate in the history of science about whether abandoning phlogiston was rational and if retaining it would help scientists discover free electrons earlier.

See e.g. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

To elaborate, I think @charlesuni.cuni.cz has many hard to quantify qualities that would put it above many of the other universities it is compared against.

But also, there are many objective metrics where we should be doing much better. Being the best in a tiny country is not a good excuse.
