| 2025-12-02 22:24:07 +0100 | <geekosaur> | that said, I was doing more than C the whole time, ranging from COBOL(!) and various "4GL" database languages to Perl and a bit of Tcl/Tk (I think I'm still credited for contributions to Exmh) |
| 2025-12-02 22:22:27 +0100 | <geekosaur> | database apps in the early years, then mostly porting and maintenance, then OpenAFS kernel module work |
| 2025-12-02 22:21:13 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <sm> I wonder what you were making in the C years |
| 2025-12-02 22:21:03 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <sm> geekosaur nice! |

| 2025-12-02 21:10:37 +0100 | <monochrom> | My point is more about the size of the 3rd-order-niche intersection of 3 niches: C, Haskell, being sufficiently incompetent such that normal Haskell books are not enough, it has to be "haskell for c programmers" spoonfeeding. |

| 2025-12-02 20:58:32 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | that kind of mutual teaching relationship is really cool |
| 2025-12-02 20:57:58 +0100 | <geekosaur> | So I learned practical Haskell by reading the xmonad code base while teaching Spencer how to do ICCCM right 🙂 |
