For Most Programmers, Learning Haskell Will Be No Picnic... Unless They Read This Tutorial First
- neilk 19y agoFail. Is this supposed to be a joke? I honestly can't tell if the guy is satirizing the self-indulgent tone of most tutorials. It has constant digressions to useless topics, like Int versus Integer, that just show off the author's erudition.
- tel 19y agoIt's pretty similar to the previous Casting Spels in Lisp tutorial in that it's overly cute and loquacious but does manage to approach a heady topic with some degree of innocence. It's more targeted as an intro to Haskell for the light hobbyist, really.
- neilk 19y agoI wrote a reply but it started turning into a blog post of sorts. http://flipzagging.livejournal.com/440929.html http://flipzagging.livejournal.com/440929.html
- neilk 19y agoIt's been pointed out to me that "Fail" is hardly constructive criticism. I'll try to update my blog post (linked below) with something that might actually help.
- jamesbritt 19y ago> Fail. Is this supposed to be a joke? Don't think so; it's entertaining and shows actual working code that progresses over time such that a reader can see how basic concepts work. Maybe I just like cartoons; where's Mr. Bunny's Guide to Haskell?
