I don't know. For me this sounds like a very bad idea.
What is putting me off (tried building small things in Haskell a couple of times) is the already heavily buzzword compliant community, throwing not only a new language with new concept at me, but adding words that at first seem to be made up on the spot.
Additionally, as others have said here, I'm having most troubles interacting with the world (IO!). Pure functions (Math!) are ~easy~ to represent.
You suggest starting with that language and learning 'new math concepts' on the go?
(I'm sure this works for some people and hats off to you guys, but for me this increases the mental complexity immensely)
- Adaptive 15y agoI think you raise a good point and I wouldn't want to put others off if this isn't commensurate with their learning style. I suspect the overlap between math geeks and haskell learners is pretty big, but one should, as you are, evaluate one's own preferred learning style against this approach. I find human languages are the same for me. I have always liked to approach them from a bottom up linguistic direction, but this means largely self-structured study.
