I have not tried the ML family of languages, leaning towards Elm and Haskell at the moment. Just a tiny bit of Lisp.
Benoit Mandelbrot's "The Fractal Geometry of Geometry" is available online -- I do have the hard-copy (long out of print).

- cedricbonhomme 10y agoI started OCaml 12 years ago. I really like this language and I appreciate the ML style. Anyway, I am not a expert with OCaml. I also consider to start with Haskell. Tried it a little but nothing serious for the moment. Not easy when you are comfortable with Python... Thank you for the link!
- hood_syntax 10y agoI'd personally recommend Haskell Programming from first principles (haskellbook.com) if you decide to look into Haskell. I've been making my way through it and I really like the progression of topics, and the thoroughness of the exercises. Currently starting the Monads chapter, and I feel like I have a solid grasp on everything that's come before. Background: I took a programming languages course on the way to my CS degree, which included Standard ML. I found it very interesting, but didn't take it seriously afterwards. The book lets you start fresh from the ground up (the first chapter is on the lambda calculus iirc), and I've really enjoyed spending my time with it.
- melling 10y agoHere's an excellent OCaml MOOC; https://www.fun-mooc.fr/courses/parisdiderot/56002S02/session02/info https://www.fun-mooc.fr/courses/parisdiderot/56002S02/sessio... There are lots of small programming exercises. I've got another week remaining. Not sure if you can still join. It's a bit of work so you probably want to wait until the next session.
