> I have tried to learn Haskell a few times, always unsuccessfully I suspect that people wanting to learn Haskell actually want to learn a statically typed functional programming language. And if you also want that language suitable to everyday problems, the kind of things you are dealing with at work, then Haskell is probably not the best one to start with. I love how Scott Wlaschin presents statically typed functional programming languages as straightforward and pragmatic solutions to everyday problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLFl95c-IiU https://pragprog.com/book/swdddf/domain-modeling-made-functi... Once you're comfortable with that (and the way it is presented here really isn't very complex) then Haskell becomes a lot easier to understand. But Haskell is very distracting because it is much more expressive and complex than than ML dialects for example, so it will be a big learning curve before someone is comfortable reading someone else's Haskell code. For other statically typed functional programming languages (f.i. OCaml/ReasonML, F#, Elm) that is not the case. |
