What's difficult about Haskell syntax? Or do you mean "it's an issue because it doesn't look like C, Java or Python?".

- toastal 5y agoIn many ways Haskell (and other languages in the ML family) are LISP with a lot less parentheses.
- the_af 5y agoIn which ways? I don't find lisp syntax confusing either.
- magicalhippo 5y agoFor me it is indeed the latter. I can glean a lot of interesting stuff from other languages as long as they look a bit familiar. Haskell I usually come to a dead stop pretty quickly. I've tried to read up on some Haskell basics, but the main issue is I don't have any real incentive to use Haskell, I have other hobbies that are more tempting, so I forget pretty quick. The Java-ish version of the Functor interface for instance was quite readable to me, ugly or not.
