Very nice formatting for the content but it feels like it's missing three chapters on category theory and two chapters each on the AST module and the `compile` builtin after that last chapter on recursion.
- aerioux 8y agoperhaps occluded since this is focused on introductory computer science students?
- LukeB42 8y agoIt already has a chapter on MapReduce, which is making a few assumptions about where the student is going, whereas teaching category theory is appropriate for where the student is.

- simonh 8y agoWhich parts of the course would you drop or abreviate, in order to make time for these?
- LukeB42 8y agoVery tough question. Personally I'd lengthen the course with a Section "1.5" on the raw math topics being dealt with (Set Theory and Category Theory) plus ones the student will certainly bump into if they ever find themselves having to deploy MapReduce in production...
