> Taking something as fundamental to what FP is like map/reduce and saying "this can live in an adjunct library" feels like somebody took divide and conquer a litte too far.

What are you talking about?



> The Haskell standard library was split off into smaller parts. Map used to be part of the standard library. To date the containers package (which contains Map) is still pre-installed alongside the GHC compiler. So it should be considered part of the standard library.

See those words "to date" and "considered" Not Is, is considered, to date. Thats what I am talking about.


Sure. But what does Map have to do with map and reduce?


To be less snarky: this might be a bit confusing to non-Haskellers.

The Map they are talking about here is a key-value-store datatype. It has nothing to do with the 'map' function.
