Great book. Although I'd like to see an "open source" version when you can get all the code snippets expressed in the language of your choice. When I read the book I wanted Haskell, but now I think I'd like to see it in F# or maybe even C#.
- tikhonj 13y agoIt does have the Haskell versions in the appendix. Besides, depending on your perspective, both SML and Haskell are basically functional pseudocode.
- kenjackson 13y agoThere was something missing from the Haskell stuff, but I can't recall the details -- it's been almost 10 years ago since I read it. But when I am reading a data structures/algorithms book, I don't want to have to deal with code (SML in this case) that I'm not super familiar with. Little things get in the way. With modern software, and the ability to dynamically swap out content, it seems a pity that we don't better tailor content to the reader.
