How so? I'd appreciate you expanding on it, as well as responding to the existence of these: Teaching Haskell to a 10 year old[0] Realm of Racket[1] Land of lisp[2] 0: https://superginbaby.wordpress.com/2015/04&#x2

I feel learning one Algol derived language such as Python followed by Haskell is a good solution. Perhaps even better (of not more painful) would be to learn C followed by Haskell.

Can you provide some examples where the readability of F# is better than Haskell? I know F# is a descendant of Ocaml and many times I find Haskell code much cleaner and more readable than Ocaml.

I feel like xsi and art mean something domain specific that might be obvious to a domain expert.

To be fair it looks to be a relatively complex operation. Do you know how any other languages implement this?

In my Python code I find that readability and naming conventions are very important. Usually in my Haskell code I'm writing more abstract functions where a good specific name isn't possible or it's obvious what it's refe

First of all, great work! That is an impressive journey. Secondly, what was your Haskell experience like? I'm always looking to see what others experiences are so I know how I can help make future experiences better.

A useful way to think about it for me coming from imperative/OOP programming was that a Monad is like a well behaved (governed by laws) interface. I found solace in telling myself "The word Monad is meaningless except for the fact

No problem. You can also find my email in my profile. Feel free to email me with specific questions. I'm interested in helping people see how Haskell applies or finding cases where it doesn't apply to their real world use cases. I

You don't do away with them, you differentiate between side effectful functions and pure functions. One way to do this is tag them with the type IO. This would be a great pain if there weren't helpful ways (see Monad, Functor, and

Why both C and C++? I'm guessing because some standard mobile apps use C++?
