If you are interested in learning Haskell, do not start with Snoyman's blogs. They are good, but not something a true beginner should be bothered with.
I can recommend the https://haskellbook.com https://haskellbook.com as an introducing resource.
If you want to dabble with something simpler/cleaner than Haskell, try Elm. It is just for browser apps, but extremely powerful and beginner friendly. You do not even have to install anything when you use this online tool: https://ellie-app.com/new https://ellie-app.com/new
- latexr 6y ago> I can recommend the https://haskellbook.com https://haskellbook.com as an introducing resource. As a counterpoint, I found that book unbearably boring and abandoned it. I continue to be interested in Haskell so I may eventually pick it up again but I’ll skip (or at least skim) the first chapters. I followed the book’s development (written by a programmer and a novice) and had high hopes for it, so it was a great disappointment when I got to read it.
- cies 6y agoInteresting, such different experience. As it's hard to answer "what did you find boring", I want to ask you: which programming book did you find super juicy (opposite of boring) to read?
- progre 6y agoI had a bad experience trying to get into Elm. It's a nice enough language, but I found the community to be less nice. This was about when the version something.19 was released.
- tasuki 6y agoInteresting! Elm has by far the nicest programming community I've ever been a part of, specifically the Elm Slack[0]. All my stupid questions get answered immediately :) [0]: https://elmlang.slack.com/ https://elmlang.slack.com/
