Get ready for more Corners, Brookfield. The 750,000-square-foot Corners of Brookfield “town center,” with 400,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and 244 apartments is not only growing, it is also getting a bit of a revamp. It's also losing its cinema. The Corners of Brookfield, which opened in 2017, announced Wednesday that it plans a major makeover of Market Street, which runs along the east side of the complex, including new stores and upgrades to the public spaces.

I’ve spent the past several years working with functional programming languagesin my free time – primarily Haskell and OCaml. I love both languages but alsofind aspects of each frustrating. Haskell is terse and elegant with type classes providing a powerful mechanismfor ad-hoc polymorphism. However, it can also be confusingly implicit and Ipersonally find lazy evaluation to have more downsides than upsides. OCaml is explicit and powerful with a best-in-class module system.
