2024-10-21 12:27:56 +0200 <kaol> And if anyone happens to have a Haskell job available I'd rather do that instead of telling how I can do something else because I know it. Just mentioning.

2024-10-21 12:12:39 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> I got a job once by mentioning haskell

2024-10-21 12:12:04 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> then sure, that's a great thing to mention
2024-10-21 12:11:54 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> ah, great

2024-10-21 12:11:44 +0200 <kaol> I've used Haskell in production for over 5 years.
2024-10-21 12:11:04 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> if you don't know haskell yet, I don't think learning it will be a shortcut to learning rust

2024-10-21 12:10:15 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> kaol: fair enough
2024-10-21 12:10:14 +0200 <kaol> They said that knowing C++ is still a plus if you don't know Rust and I suspect that they would have mentioned Haskell as well but they didn't expect that anyone would know it.

2024-10-21 12:08:46 +0200 <tomsmeding> which you can't learn beforehand, it takes practice
2024-10-21 12:08:38 +0200 <tomsmeding> you will need to get familiarity and skills with the borrow checker
2024-10-21 12:08:24 +0200 <tomsmeding> if you can show you have those things, you'll be in a very good place to pick up rust
2024-10-21 12:07:15 +0200 <tomsmeding> Rust is like: Haskell + haskell mindset (strong typing, care about mutability) <tensorproduct> C++ mindset (resource awareness) + standard imperative programming
2024-10-21 12:06:26 +0200 <tomsmeding> (sorry I skipped most of the convo)
2024-10-21 12:06:10 +0200 <kaol> tomsmeding: Besides the C, C++ and Java I mentioned: Perl and JavaScript. Some Python and Pascal. Dabbled in a few others that I'll skip.

2024-10-21 12:03:06 +0200 <tomsmeding> kaol: what other imperative languages do you know?

2024-10-21 11:58:13 +0200 <kaol> I guess "hand waving" was overstating it, mainly I was just thinking how relevant mentioning Haskell knowledge would be when I tell that I don't know Rust (yet) in the application.

2024-10-21 11:42:03 +0200 <Rembane> Hecate: I've heard good things about it! Now I must read it!
2024-10-21 11:41:53 +0200 <Hecate> I'm reading the "Children of Time" trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky
2024-10-21 11:41:52 +0200 <Rembane> Hecate: Oooooooooooh. Anything to recommend?
2024-10-21 11:41:26 +0200 <Hecate> Rembane: still very busy! but I got some nice SF to read these days so that's really good

2024-10-21 11:32:23 +0200 <Rembane> That's what makes it fast and safe, right?
2024-10-21 11:31:17 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> it's an anti hand waving language
2024-10-21 11:30:09 +0200 <Rembane> Hecate: Not much, procrastinating finishing my thesis, looking for a new job but not that seriously, and enjoying the swedish autumn. :D
2024-10-21 11:29:38 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> I'm not a rust programmer, but from what I've read I don't think you can hand wave it
2024-10-21 11:26:33 +0200 <Rembane> Hecate: Yo! <3 Long time no see!
2024-10-21 11:22:29 +0200 <Hecate> what's up?
