| 2025-01-01 19:03:51 +0100 | <monochrom> | Yeah you already "know" f(x) because you have seen it in Haskell as "f x". |
| 2025-01-01 19:03:46 +0100 | <EvanR> | unlike C usually |
| 2025-01-01 19:03:25 +0100 | <EvanR> | substituting for variables is handy and meaningful when understanding haskell |
| 2025-01-01 19:03:03 +0100 | <chris_on_linux> | Ohhhhh |
| 2025-01-01 19:03:03 +0100 | <EvanR> | lol |
| 2025-01-01 19:02:58 +0100 | <JuanDaugherty> | who also did the monads, but not those u'll find here |
| 2025-01-01 19:02:53 +0100 | <EvanR> | 1 + 5^2 |
| 2025-01-01 19:02:50 +0100 | <EvanR> | and f(5) stands for substituting 5 for x |
| 2025-01-01 19:02:44 +0100 | <geekosaur> | prefer x^f? |

| 2025-01-01 19:02:41 +0100 | <JuanDaugherty> | or leibniz |
| 2025-01-01 19:02:40 +0100 | <EvanR> | f(x) = 1 + x^2 defines a function |
| 2025-01-01 19:02:18 +0100 | <EvanR> | but I think newton made it up |
| 2025-01-01 19:02:14 +0100 | <chris_on_linux> | Whta does it stand for? |
| 2025-01-01 19:02:13 +0100 | <EvanR> | that I don't fully understand xD |
| 2025-01-01 19:02:04 +0100 | <EvanR> | it's just notation |
| 2025-01-01 19:02:03 +0100 | <chris_on_linux> | I have seen p(x) |
| 2025-01-01 19:01:57 +0100 | <chris_on_linux> | I am a 9th grader... I don't know what f(x) means |
| 2025-01-01 19:00:54 +0100 | <JuanDaugherty> | $ means profit, the way russians say it |
| 2025-01-01 19:00:38 +0100 | <EvanR> | whatever xmonad does* |
| 2025-01-01 19:00:31 +0100 | <EvanR> | haskell lets you define new operators so whatever xmonad doesn't may not reflect on haskell generally |
| 2025-01-01 19:00:09 +0100 | <monochrom> | My https://www.vex.net/~trebla/haskell/prerequisite.xhtml describes what kind of math you need for Haskell. TL;DR it is not about the knowledge, it is about the aptitude, how you think. |
| 2025-01-01 19:00:06 +0100 | <chris_on_linux> | I have noticed in my xmonad configs it means "add something to a already defined "function" |
| 2025-01-01 18:59:37 +0100 | <EvanR> | in haskell $ doesn't mean dollars unfortunately |
| 2025-01-01 18:59:05 +0100 | <JuanDaugherty> | *than hs |
| 2025-01-01 18:59:04 +0100 | <EvanR> | and % does not mean percent |
| 2025-01-01 18:58:54 +0100 | <JuanDaugherty> | and ml is the ancestor of the hs line |
| 2025-01-01 18:58:43 +0100 | <monochrom> | Oh you will also be delighted to know that in C "=" does not mean equal. |
| 2025-01-01 18:58:42 +0100 | <JuanDaugherty> | but there are other types of functional langs that hs, lisp is generally considered the first |

| 2025-01-01 18:58:27 +0100 | <chris_on_linux> | Exactly |
| 2025-01-01 18:58:20 +0100 | <EvanR> | C functions are more like subroutines |
| 2025-01-01 18:58:09 +0100 | <chris_on_linux> | I have heard it has functions, but it's not as scary as Haskell |
| 2025-01-01 18:58:01 +0100 | <EvanR> | without some application at hand |
| 2025-01-01 18:58:01 +0100 | <monochrom> | (Conversely, if you hate no-math, there is no point bothering with mainstream hate-math programming either, C or Python.) |
| 2025-01-01 18:58:01 +0100 | <JuanDaugherty> | no C is not |
| 2025-01-01 18:57:55 +0100 | <EvanR> | sometimes people "don't see the point" of math |
| 2025-01-01 18:57:53 +0100 | <chris_on_linux> | Is C considered functional? |
| 2025-01-01 18:57:47 +0100 | <EvanR> | on the other hand if you do functional programming and "get it", maybe you will find a new found appreciation of maths and go back |
| 2025-01-01 18:57:29 +0100 | <chris_on_linux> | Mathematics are not my strong spot... |
| 2025-01-01 18:57:16 +0100 | <monochrom> | Oh yeah if you hate math then there is no point bothering with any functional programming at all, Haskell or Scheme. |
| 2025-01-01 18:57:16 +0100 | <chris_on_linux> | That's nice to hear |

| 2025-01-01 18:57:02 +0100 | <JuanDaugherty> | u will find plenty of help here and ppl who arent trained in math have become proficient |
| 2025-01-01 18:56:56 +0100 | <EvanR> | haskell a gentle introduction |
| 2025-01-01 18:56:40 +0100 | <monochrom> | If you don't plan to be casual, you will need more than one book. Definitely try LYAH, but also pick up 1 or 2 more. Here are some I actually took a look and can comment on: https://www.vex.net/~trebla/haskell/learn-sources.html |
| 2025-01-01 18:56:17 +0100 | <EvanR> | if someone just stole the word for something unrelated... now you're probably programming again xD |
| 2025-01-01 18:56:06 +0100 | <JuanDaugherty> | haskell has been thought of that way |
