Same. In fact, I picked up that book as a PHP and JS developer, and ended up becoming fascinated with Haskell by the end of it. For the past several years now, I've been earning 100% of my living from writing Haskell.
I enjoyed the Io chapter, and JavaScript's prototypal inheritance made more sense to me after working through that chapter's exercises.
- djtriptych 5y agoCongrats on the switch to Haskell. I see a similar path when I'm finally tired of big production web apps. I want to work on some wonky functional system at some point. Curious what sort of work you do!
- yakshaving_jgt 5y agoI work at Supercede. We write a big production web app for the reinsurance industry with Yesod and Servant, and a bit of Elm. We're hiring[0] also (and our team has grown a bit since that last post). [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28722397 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28722397
