I agree there is little reason to create a category of Python solutions based on how the code is documented. It seems to me that the
main way the solutions using Haskell style comments actually differ is the tendency to use currying to write multiple functions taking single arguments, replacing the usual Python way of making a single function taking multiple arguments. It does make sense to me to have someone create and index the subcategory of Python solutions that code in that way. --[[User:Wherrera|Wherrera]] ([[User talk:Wherrera|talk]]) 18:26, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
: Thanks Wherrera – that's a good thought.
: What I don't know is whether Donald/Paddy would feel that that was enough to enable him to then desist from interventions like replacing the comments with compiler type annotations.
: A problem with the result of making those annotations in my code (he doesn't, I think, generally apply them to his own code) is that we end up with an approach which '''nobody''' believes in.
:# Past interventions and comments have shown that he doesn't believe in the composition of pure curried functions, and
:# I don't personally believe in the cost/benefit of debugging type annotations for small (Rosetta-sized) Python projects. (This issue is well discussed on-line).
: i.e. the result would, if these interventions continue, be chimaeral, implausible, and not obviously an example of any coherent or sensible approach at all. (Perhaps that would seem like a welcome outcome to Paddy, but it would not, I think, be a good one for Rosetta Code.)
: (That is in fact the state of play with this task at the time of writing. He has repeatedly deleted attempts to show both approaches next to each other, insisting on retaining only the hybrid code that looks to him "compliant" (apparently the supreme value, crushing everything else, though, oddly, he often fails to lint his own code very thoroughly) and to me, implausible, chimaeral, and less clear for the reader than before).
