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
2025-01-01 18:55:57 +0100 <EvanR> turns out if something actually comes from mathematics you're doing pretty good
2025-01-01 18:55:18 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> *u
2025-01-01 18:55:07 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> if ur think that's scary
2025-01-01 18:55:06 +0100 <chris_on_linux> Everything sounds like it comes from Mathematics
2025-01-01 18:54:54 +0100 <chris_on_linux> It's a little scary
2025-01-01 18:54:43 +0100 <JuanDaugherty> y not?
2025-01-01 18:54:28 +0100 <chris_on_linux> Should I read Learn You A Haskell For Great Good?
2025-01-01 18:54:07 +0100 <chris_on_linux> I know how to say Hello World in Java, but not much more than that
2025-01-01 18:53:46 +0100 <chris_on_linux> What is the best way to learn Haskell as a complete beginner?

2025-01-01 18:53:03 +0100 <chris_on_linux> XMonad has very extensive libraries
2025-01-01 18:52:52 +0100 <chris_on_linux> I have gotten pretty good at configuring it
