Monkey Patching Across Languages: JS, Ruby, Lisp, and Haskell's Void

Description

A four-panel wojak meme comparing how programming languages relate to runtime monkey patching. Panel 1: a skeptical bearded 'Nordic gamer' wojak next to 'runtime monkey patching' and the yellow JS (JavaScript) logo. Panel 2: a screaming open-mouthed wojak with 'runtime monkey patching, Japan' and the red Ruby gem logo (Ruby was created in Japan and its culture famously embraces open classes and monkey patching). Panel 3: a wise long-haired bearded elder wojak with 'runtime monkey patching, old school' beside curly braces/parentheses and the LISP name, nodding to Lisp's decades-old runtime malleability and macros. Panel 4: an enlightened wojak with a glowing sacred-geometry halo labeled 'runtime monkey patching, (concept not found)' next to the purple Haskell lambda logo - in a pure, statically typed, immutable language, mutating definitions at runtime is not merely discouraged, it is inexpressible. The meme rewards knowing each language's metaprogramming philosophy

Haskell did not ban monkey patching; the type checker proved the monkey never existed.

What's the bottom symbol?
1. @b7sum 4mo
  
  haskell, you mean?
  
  @Daonifur 4mo
  
  Oh yeah. I remember trying pascal/Haskell before, just not regularly
  
  @death_by_oom 4mo
  
  This is actually peak comedy. I don't even know if it's a joke
  
  @Daonifur 4mo
  
  How?
  
  @death_by_oom 4mo
  
  All the functional fanatics when you mix pascal and Haskell in the same sentence 🫠🫠🫠
  
  @Daonifur 4mo
  
  Oh, so you're one of those that assumes when I put Java and JS in same sentence, I'm implying they're the same
  
  @death_by_oom 4mo
  
  Then why mention pascal at all, how is it relevant?
  
  @Daonifur 4mo
  
  Reread the sentence
  
  @Daonifur 4mo
  
  When you do so, replace / with and
  
  @Daonifur 4mo
  
  3rd reply because why not
  
  _ 4mo
  
  To me, '/' implies the things are related or interchangeable, while 'and' only says both are true, without implying it's related and not a coincidence
  
  @death_by_oom 4mo
  
  Ok, maybe I misunderstood, but it was pretty funny from my point of view
  
  @Daonifur 4mo
  
  I mean, looking back at it, it is funny now because you misinterpreted it, lol
  
  @Daonifur 4mo
  
  It's like if I said "I remember playing Doom/Halo" and someone coming in saying "they're not even the same game"
  
  @blue_bonsai 4mo
  
  BEAT THEM, MY FURRY
  
  @LeakyRectifiedLinearUnit 4mo
  
  the peak comedy is javascript
  
  @Daonifur 4mo
  
  Agree here
  
  @death_by_oom 4mo
  
  These 2 langs could not be more different
@blue_bonsai 4mo

Make them regret their life
