I remember seeing your tutorial before and thinking it looked like a great exercise. Do you think it would be worthwhile for someone with a moderate Haskell background who wants to learn some Scheme? Or is it best to go into it the other way round?
- nostrademons 15y agoI think it might be quicker to read some Scheme programs to get a feel for the language. It's usually harder to understand exactly what a program is doing by looking at the source code than it is to look at the output of the program and figure out how it got there. (This is also why I always ask for demos and changelist descriptions that explain the intent of the change when I do code reviews at work.) Some time, it might be fun to write a Haskell interpreter in Scheme. :-) There're all sorts of cool challenges involving type inference there.
