Oh Haskell, why must you hurt my brain so much?
I get that it's a powerful language, that 2 characters of Haskell can do more than a gigabytes of C (or something like that I'm told). Im even trying to learn the language. But until then, I am always stuck with the impression (usually correct) that I just don't get it, when something discussing it comes along. :(
- wolverian 17y agoI think Real World Haskell might help you with that, and after that, The Road to Mathematics and Logic.
- sophacles 17y agoThanks for the pointers!
- gaius 17y agoMy main problem with RWH (and I'm not alone in saying this) is that the first 4 chapters are insufficient to prepare you for the material in the rest of the book.
- Xichekolas 17y agoRead "Programming in Haskell" by Graham Hutton first. It's a small book... I literally did the whole thing (including implementing all the exercises) in a week. To call it excellent would be the understatement of the century. From there, pick up RWH. You can skim the first few chapters, and you'll be much better equipped to read the rest of them.
