Maybe a survey can disprove my opinion. but i would argue the option of having ads plus paying for the ability to remove ads is something most users would accept (even if there is a vocal minority). especially if you explain that researching and developing some forms of content (documentaries, video courses, investigative journalism) can take dozen of hours and is not feasible to do without getting paid when aiming for the highest quality.

That could be better then just restricting videos (mitra could also be a open source alternative to patreon).

In blender for example you receive prioritized support when you sponsor them.

There are also various rewards (like voting on features, exclusive access to discord channels, having a sponsorship section on the website that acts as something like an ad).

There are various guides for this. but that’s the shortened version.

seriously i am not sure if linkedin is more insightful then linkedin.

You could have a multi-paradigm programming language and use FP techniques in the code. And at least in my university there was an introduction to FP and i assume that is true for most CS degree programs.

Anyway no offence but i wonder how many of the people who upvoted you actually programmed in a purely functional programming language . i read and did the exercises for real world haskell and i don’t think purely functional programming language can create the clearest code. i can see the advantages but a language with a strong support for FP and OOP would be better IMO (Ruby?). I also can’t think of a popular FOSS project that uses a purely functional language (pandoc is an exception, but that seems like a sweet spot for FP).

But it is a cool project and i like the endeavor.

Using a purely functional niche language like that will really prevent good developers from contributing IMO.
