Do you think H-M, which can be presented in full in less than a 60 minutes functional programming lecture, is harder than a whole subfield of physics? I don't think so. Astrophysists deal with large objects every day and there might be a re

I disagree - choosing a language is not choosing a placebo. Languages are tools, and need to be chosen appropriately. Often the exact choice will not matter (compare Java/C# or Python/Ruby), but sometimes it will. "it's not for me" is not a

- I made many mistakes in the learning process. Monads should be done after you know core language (higher order functions, ADTs and pattern matching, typeclasses). I was attempting to learn many things at once and perfectly, instead of cli

It took me two months to really comprehend monads. Now I find them very intuitive and easy. However, they are definitely not easy to learn. It is like you are learning programming for the first time. Initially, they seem weird. Haskell requ

Urban Dictionary no longer sorts by positive - negative, see e.g. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=usa . I don't know what they use now.

Is Prolog a functional language, as it avoids state manipulation but has no first-class functions? I think not. There are some characteristics of functional languages - including first class and higher order functions, relying on immutabili

This is a single introductory sentence. You should not reason that far with it. With that reasoning you could claim addition is impure, because time() + 1 changes over time. map is definitely a pure function. If you apply it to impure argum

Music too, if someone in a train has loud headphones. Or, you could hear a band playing a show outside the venue. In a very resourceful world, you could always find a public place where you can overhear the track you want to listen.

Sometimes YouTube comments give me also that feeling.

If you have printf, then "printf("long string")" where the string might be modified should give a good bound, say Omega(200^S). If you don't have it, what is the program allowed to do? Only return from main, without checking arguments? Then

I think the poster is arguing against the conflation. Organic chemistry is not memorizing compounds; mathematics is not memorizing integrals; anatomy is not like memorizing colors. There is a great difference between understanding and memor

clauseSat, simpClause and simplify functions do not need special case for []. You can remove the three lines. Even more, clauseSat s l = elem l s, simpClause c l = filter (/= -l) c.

I also recommend following a tutorial, it's really hard to start coding on your own, you will definitely get bad habits or a very shallow, incorrect understanding. I know this from long experience.
