Is F worth learning for this reason...?

Hi.

There's a girl in one of my classes whom I find absolutely beautiful. I found her Twitter, and apparently she codes in F a lot. The thing is, I've been meaning to talk to her, but I have the feeling I won't have anything to talk about. We don't seem to have anything in common. For the record, I pretty much only program in Scheme and Haskell.

So I've been thinking of learning F and doing a small project in it. I want it to be somewhat impressive, of course. F doesn't seem to be particularly easy to master, though, so I'm reluctant.

Well. Do you guys think I should do it, and if so, is there any book you recommend?


Libertarian Jill offers up an idea for a free market solution to a social problem - reduncing employment by abolishing the minimum wage.

Socialist Jack replies that this would exacerbate already unacceptable levels of income inequality in the work force.

Kill answers, with a roll of the eyes, "You would say that".
