The erlang tutorial is pretty effective at that, IMO. The biggest problem with it is that erlang syntax is so foreign to most programmers you're going to spend enough mental effort understanding that to detract from the brainpower available for understanding the functional paradigms.
- lostcolony 9y agoI found the opposite to be true. It's so 'foreign' that it avoids me falling into "I already know what this does" traps. Except for 'if'. Avoid 'if'.
- Sean1708 9y agoIsn't that why Elixir came about, to be Erlang with a less esoteric interface?
- cimmanom 9y agoSure, but does Elixir have the exact same tutorial?
