Good point these were students so they were eager to learn new things. Can't blame them.
At the same time much of programming is learning new things continually. Some things are harder to learn and master than others. Seems like Haskell might be one such thing, based on what the professor says.
- anaphor 7y agoYeah, I think the problem comes when you try to learn too many new things at once. If you're still learning about compilers, then trying to learn about functional programming on top of that is just asking for trouble.
