Learn both. :)
Python has a less steep learning curve and has a more vibrant ecosystem.
Haskell has the potential to change the way you think about programming, and its ecosystem is maturing quickly.
I used Haskell for my university honours thesis. Spent a whole year on it but still haven't had the chance to fully grasp the concept of monads yet, but I'm not sure its because they're complicated or because I didn't need them.
I use python + django at my day job.
- tyaakow 14y agoThats nice. However, my intentions are very practical. I dont need to become "better comp. scientist". I just want something which will help me do more with less effort. Something that will harness my programming & learning efforts better. I already know some python. What will give me better leverage in practical projects? In making some shining new app?
- meric 14y agoIf you want results in next 3 months then I suggest python. I suspect Haskell will become a lot more popular in the long run though. (Maybe in 5 years time). So go python. :)
