Gosh, Haskell is so readable! Most of those slides have nothing but code on them, yet they read perfectly comprehensibly. I guess it's a testament both to the language, and to the author's skill in expressing concepts clearly in it.
- dgreensp 17y agoIf you're not being sarcastic, that's encouraging and makes me want to learn enough Haskell to understand the code.
- caffeine 17y agoIf you go through a bit of learnyouahaskell.com you'll understand the code in those slides quite quickly. But ... the problem I have with Haskell is that the other people who use it are smarter than me, so while I can parse their code, sometimes their ideas are so abstract/complex that I still don't get it...
- dons 17y agoSo you can parse the code in those slides -- despite it being raw high performance-focused code -- but you're having trouble understanding why it is fast?
