Hey, thanks for the feedback! Definitely let's syntax is a bit ambiguous to the newbie. I'll take a couple steps in the tutorial for explanation and experimentation. I think I'll take your advice and just go with
fst (28,"chirs")
and then do a "small detour" (2 steps) to explain the "let" syntax, because it gets used in later chapters. Unlike the math stuff which is intuitive, I agree it needs explicit description.
Cheers!
- xenomachina 16y agoIt's definitely better. You might want something longer to type than 4 in the example, though. Explaining the let syntax only after the user has had to use it once felt a bit funny to me, though I guess that's the pattern of the rest of the tutorial. I'm one of those people who tends to learn more from references than tutorials, so that might be saying more about my learning style than your tutorial.
