Python -> Haskell seems like a serious leap. Even to the point of not seeming all that realistic. Care to elaborate on why you think that's a natural progression for you?
I like Python, but FP programming is a second-rate style there.
- megaman821 16y agoWell, Python does give you a little taste of the FP world with things like list comprehensions. Haskell has very good concurrency solutions like sparks(async), MVars and forkIO (threaded), and data parallelism. Writing a program for 128 cores doesn't look very different than writing a program for 2 cores. I think that this will become very important sometime in the next decade as computer will come with more and more cores.
