2026-02-15 11:24:59 +0100 <Guest83> Thank you, Ski. I am liking the functional programming approach. I hope I stick around with Haskell for long because i easily get demotivated if I hit a roadblock in my learning.
2026-02-15 11:24:48 +0100 <srazkvt> but i don't go much outside of those
2026-02-15 11:24:29 +0100 <srazkvt> i have a few usernames i switch between, either this username, or a variant of it, or just my first name for more casual chats with friends
2026-02-15 11:23:39 +0100 <ski> it should change your nickname
2026-02-15 11:23:33 +0100 <ski> /nick myNewNickname

2026-02-15 11:23:06 +0100 <ski> well, at least people who stick around, keep chatting, here
2026-02-15 11:22:46 +0100 <ski> most people tend to stick to one (or sometimes a few) nicknames
2026-02-15 11:22:14 +0100 <Guest83> Sure, Ski. Much appreciated. Do you all use the same nicknames?
2026-02-15 11:21:17 +0100 <ski> (do note that it may at times take a little while for people to notice your question, so i'd recommend waiting at least half an hour)
2026-02-15 11:20:52 +0100 <ski> oh, and you can ask here, if you have questions about particular things
2026-02-15 11:20:23 +0100 <ski> is a course, which has exercises you can try

2026-02-15 11:20:15 +0100 <ski> @where CIS194
2026-02-15 11:20:09 +0100 <ski> doesn't have exercises, though
2026-02-15 11:20:02 +0100 <ski> you could try "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!" <https://learnyouahaskell.github.io/>, if you want. it covers basics
2026-02-15 11:18:39 +0100 <Guest83> Great Ski. Thanks for the guidance
2026-02-15 11:18:27 +0100 <ski> there's other nice books, as well
2026-02-15 11:18:23 +0100 <Guest83> I don't mind learning from scratch
2026-02-15 11:18:21 +0100 <ski> the book "Haskell : The Craft of Functional Programming" by Simon Thompson is a nice intro
2026-02-15 11:17:59 +0100 <Guest83> Read about good things of functional programming so thought of giving it a try

2026-02-15 11:17:35 +0100 <ski> if you're new to functional programming, it will be a bit like learning to program from scratch all over again
2026-02-15 11:17:10 +0100 <Guest83> Yes Python
2026-02-15 11:17:04 +0100 <ski> do you know any other programming language ?
2026-02-15 11:16:35 +0100 <Guest83> I am on the getting started page of Haskell

2026-02-15 11:16:04 +0100 <ski> do you have access to some introductory learning material ?
2026-02-15 11:15:54 +0100 <Guest83> Awesome way of saying Hi
2026-02-15 11:15:43 +0100 <yahb2> hi!

2026-02-15 11:15:19 +0100 <Guest83> Tried Ocaml but found it difficult
2026-02-15 11:15:02 +0100 <Guest83> New to Haskell
