- epse 7y agoHe teaches compilers. Not programming or fp, so definitely not the professors fault
- willtim 7y agoYes, but it's still a great pity, as Haskell, a descendent of ML (the "meta-language") is a suberb fit for writing a compiler.
- anaphor 7y agoIt's my understanding that UW offers some undergrad courses in Racket, but apparently they're optional so if you hadn't taken that course you might not know much about functional programming.
- 256 7y agoThere is a mandatory compilers-lite course at UW and he teaches the advanced version of it, where the project is to fill in pieces of a Scala-lite compiler written in Scala.
