The idea that you don't need tutorials because of the type system is absurd, another whopper along the same lines as Haskell programs being bug-free.
If nothing else, you may need a tutorial to learn to use the complex type system.
- chowells 13y agoThat's why I was very precise in my statement. The great thing about Haskell is that for many purposes, you don't need to understand the math or have a tutorial to use a new library. and But a complaint that you can't use most libraries because they involve math you don't understand and don't have any tutorials? That's one of the silliest things I've ever heard. Note the word "library" in both of those. I was very precise. Library documentation isn't lacking the way some people complain loudly that it is.
- eru 13y agoYes. More documentation wouldn't hurt, though. The type system is more expressive than most other languages', but not that expressive on an absolute scale.
