Note that Dijkstra recommendes Haskell over Java because Haskell is arcane and mathematical, which is good for learning computer science, not because it's good for writing software.
- random314 7y agoYour paraphrasing of "novel" as "arcane" is in bad faith. It is also self evident that djikstra believes that learning computer science is good for writing software.
