At this point it’s becoming increasingly clear that I can ask Cursor to read any of the implementations of my Conway and translate that into any other programming language that I want; this is what I’ve done last year with NASM, Scala, and Bash, and this year with Haskell. Yes, I have read Miran Lipovača’s masterpiece but, like, 15 years ago, and to be honest I never quite got into using Haskell beyond small experiments. So what’s a (lazy) developer to do in 2026? You guessed it. Particularly after writing a whole issue of De Programmatica Ipsum dedicated to the subject of Functional Programming, including an article about Philip Wadler, one of the fathers of the language. And once again, just like every time I use Cursor, I just let it do its thing after a good long prompt… and the magic operated in an uncanny way.
