The University of Windsor used it in their first year intro to CS course up until 2015. I wonder how many other places still use it.

- dmix 9y agoInteresting, is Haskell used in many universities?
- bstamour 9y agoI'm not sure, honestly. It would be nice if it were.
- tOOtl 9y agoUCL teaches other courses using Haskell (http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/students/syllabus/undergrad/101p_principles_of_programming/ http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/students/syllabus/undergrad/101p_pri...), and Imperial College London uses it for teaching functional programming too (http://www.imperial.ac.uk/computing/current-students/courses/120_1/ http://www.imperial.ac.uk/computing/current-students/courses...).
- tomsmeding 9y agoMultiple universities (at least Utrecht and Nijmegen) in the Netherlands use Haskell for teaching functional programming, and I believe some FP research is also carried out there using Haskell.
- solidangle 9y agoRadboud University actually switched to Haskell this year, now that Ralf Hinze is teaching the functional programming course. Before they used to teach Clean (which is not that different from Haskell).
- asQuirreL 9y agoOxford also taught a few courses in Haskell: - Functional Programming - Digital Systems - Principals of Programming Languages. Compilers was primarily in OCaml, and there were several other courses in Scala.
- wyager 9y agoUT Austin used Haskell as the intro freshman language until pressure from large regional donors/employers caused them to switch to Java in the early 2000s.
- stealthefocus 9y agoYup I learned it there. It's there for the basics of CS like learning recursion they don't really mention if it is functional tbh.
