| 2025-01-02 19:42:19 +0100 | <rockingcool> | sounds good |
| 2025-01-02 19:41:36 +0100 | <glguy> | A bot requires less UI so that can be a good starting point on that path |
| 2025-01-02 19:41:07 +0100 | <rockingcool> | glguy: Thanks for the ideas, an irc client sounds fun |
| 2025-01-02 19:39:39 +0100 | <rockingcool> | my only previous exposure to FP is python, which probably doesn't even count |
| 2025-01-02 19:38:47 +0100 | <glguy> | rockingcool: depends on what you think is fun. I like making text games, IRC clients, and solving puzzles, so I use Haskell for those. It's generally suitable for what first project is something you're interested in |
| 2025-01-02 19:37:46 +0100 | <__monty__> | I think the data61 FP-course is a good practical introduction to Haskell, albeit with a bit of a steep curve if you don't have guidance or prior experience. |
| 2025-01-02 19:36:50 +0100 | <__monty__> | Parser combinators are great but I honestly wouldn't be able to recommend them as first exposure to Haskell. Depending on previous functional programming experience of course. |
| 2025-01-02 19:35:50 +0100 | <rockingcool> | been thinking about a parser, since that seems like Haskell's strength |

| 2025-01-02 19:35:33 +0100 | <rockingcool> | are there any common 'first projects' that people usually do in haskell? |

| 2025-01-02 19:34:27 +0100 | <rockingcool> | right |
| 2025-01-02 19:33:57 +0100 | <geekosaur> | (at least you can cure them by removing the environment file, which ghc will tell you it's using) |
| 2025-01-02 19:33:38 +0100 | <geekosaur> | you really don't want to add them to the default global environment, different versdions will conflict with each other and you'll ultimately end up with horrible tangles |
| 2025-01-02 19:33:27 +0100 | <rockingcool> | sounds good, thanks |

| 2025-01-02 19:32:45 +0100 | <geekosaur> | with --package-env=., it's okay |
| 2025-01-02 19:31:32 +0100 | <rockingcool> | would you recommend the '--lib' approach for toy programs? |

| 2025-01-02 19:28:47 +0100 | <rockingcool> | Loving haskell so far, but that's definitely a pain point |
| 2025-01-02 19:28:33 +0100 | <rockingcool> | yeah, I cam tell |
| 2025-01-02 19:28:20 +0100 | <rockingcool> | got it |
| 2025-01-02 19:28:15 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <maerwald> Cabal was never good at UX |
| 2025-01-02 19:28:00 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <maerwald> Now you have to know 3-4 underdocumented cabal shenanigans to emulate the same thing |
| 2025-01-02 19:27:27 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <maerwald> Sandboxes, before they were prematurely ripped out of cabal |
| 2025-01-02 19:26:27 +0100 | <rockingcool> | are virtual envs a thing? like in python |

| 2025-01-02 19:25:47 +0100 | <geekosaur> | if you absolutely must, there's "cabal install --lib" but this has the potential to make big messes |
| 2025-01-02 19:25:38 +0100 | <rockingcool> | I see |
| 2025-01-02 19:25:18 +0100 | <geekosaur> | you don't "cabal install" or "stack install" a library, you write a package description that depends on the library and cabal or stack will install an appropriate version automatically |
