Title: Learn haskell. Post by: 🏰 TradeFortress 🏰 on January 27, 2013, 01:52:44 PM Do it. It's amazing. It will make your a better programmer. It has a steep learning curve, but it will help you.

Title: Re: Learn haskell. Post by: grondilu on January 28, 2013, 01:37:30 AM I've spent the last year or so learning Perl6 and while doing so I've heard a lot about Haskell in very good terms.
I definitely need to learn this thing. Title: Re: Learn haskell. Post by: Ryland R. Taylor-Almanza on January 28, 2013, 02:12:49 AM Learning haskell is a lot of fun! For me, it wasn't so much about it being a good language. It was about wrapping my head around an entirely new concept in programming. Learning new languages is usually easy for me, because the popular ones usually share a lot of the same concepts. But purely functional programming is like an entirely different world!

Did you pick up a few books and went on about it on your own, or did you take courses in college? I mainly learned by reading various resources online found using Google. Also, to anyone in this thread that actually wants to learn Haskell, I used this (http://learnyouahaskell.com/) and found it helpful. Title: Re: Learn haskell.

Title: Re: Learn haskell. Post by: kokjo on January 28, 2013, 09:42:08 PM Haskell is an academic language, you post is entertaining, because of your closemindedness, but i feel sad for your unenlightened mind.and therefore has no future. Also if OP's skills improved from Haskell' learning, why he is still using PHP !? @OP: functional languages are really awesome, you can solve so many problems just by folding. have you seen typeclasses and monads yet? |
