I know a guy who learned Standard ML when he was 11.
I also know a bunch of smart guys who dropped out of comp sci at Uni because that's what they were taught in their first semester. Some of them became developers anyway, others decided that they would never learn to code and did other things instead (which is fine, of course, but I'm sure they could've learned Python first and moved on to SML later).
- mwcampbell 5y agoMaybe those same uni students would have been more successful with Standard ML if they had learned it at a younger age, when they could more easily learn new things. For that matter, maybe the person who learned it at age 11 could have learned it a couple years earlier.
