Reception

Lynn Bryant reviewed The Regiment in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 79.[1] Bryant commented that "The Regiment is a good read. It is a long book that could have benefited by being a bit shorter, but the prose reads easily and while Dalmas could have packed in more battles, there is plenty of action. if you are looking for a good militarily oriented story that challenges you to think, you'll enjoy this book."[1]

gollark: I personally think that while less complexity is good, switching to sugarless lisp would be bad.
gollark: ```haskelltype PasteCapture a = Capture "username" Text :> Capture "pasteName" Text :> atype GetPasteAPI = PasteCapture (Get '[JSON] SanitizedPaste) :<|> "raw" :> PasteCapture (Get '[PlainText] Text)type RequiresAuth a = BasicAuth "pastecan" (Entity User) :> atype UpdatePasteAPI = RequiresAuth ( PasteCapture (Delete '[PlainText] NoContent) :<|> PasteCapture (ReqBody '[JSON] SanitizedPaste :> Put '[PlainText] NoContent))type AccountsAPI = "account" :> ( ReqBody '[JSON] User :> Post '[JSON] Bool :<|> RequiresAuth (Delete '[JSON] NoContent))type API = UpdatePasteAPI :<|> GetPasteAPI :<|> AccountsAPI```I defined the API as types. It was nice.

gollark: We're on the Haskell Discussion discord, what did you *expect*?
gollark: I wrote a Pastebin clone (though only the backend) in Haskell, it was fine.
