Great post, I really want to get into Haskell
Have you tried Try Haskell?
This is great for new. I feel Haskell is more easy to remember after you understand the type syntax like :: => ->. This will help you write program more fluently.
A speaker told two break points: monad and category.
I missed this comment and just checked this out today... it's great! I'll have to keep this link for reference.
Nope. This is great!
I really like Haskell's repl because it allows you to learn types quickly.
You just type:
:t the_name_of_the_function.
:t - stands for :type.
Just a minor nitpick,
notis not a keyword, but a functionFixed!
not True -- comments come after two hyphens
instead of the bang operator (!==) it uses (/=) operator for not True in comparison.
Right! That's another idiosyncrasy of Haskell that I neglected to mention.
I'm fine with it. SQL's not-equal-to operator is
<>things like that really don't matter. It's like being upset about single quotes vs double quotes. If you think that's annoying, then you should absolutely learn Haskell, because you're focused on aesthetics instead of big picture implications, and Haskell will force you to learn better ways of thinking about the big picture.Most of the problems that most of us have are simply difficult and frowned upon in Haskell.
I think maybe you misunderstood what one of us said. All we did was note that the "not equals" operator is different than the "normal" one in Haskell. Which is a good thing to know whether you're focused on aesthetics or not.
While I get what you're saying, the normal not-equal symbol is
≠. So calling it an idiosyncrasy sounds like c-style bias, as Haskell's version is closer to the mathematical symbol.LYAH is a nice introduction to Haskell but if you're serious about understanding the language I'd recommend giving Haskell Programming from First Principles a read.
Just curious. Is there any particular application that you'd like to build in Haskell?
Nice and concise! I'd completely forgotten about
cycleThank you so much for this, @joshcheek writes Haskell for some coding puzzles and I really want to learn it as a result!

Good post, and another intro video.
