I WANTA LEARNA HASKELL

Where do I start oh ye gods of /prog/?

Learn Lisp.

Lisp ith for faggoths

I guess Learn You a Haskell (http://learnyouahaskell.com/chapters).

Out of curiosity, why do you want to learn Haskell?

>>6
Something to do and learn something different. I've already dealt with C, C++, C#, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, and Shell. I do C/Perl/Shell at work, C# for my own OOP projects and Perl for scripts, Java at school, and have tried Ruby and Python in my own time.

Don't care for Lisp/Scheme's retarded parenthesis buttfuckery, so Haskell it is.

>>7
Haskell isn't Lisp and Lisp isn't Haskell. Don't think if you learn one, you will know the other (or even understand the other's paradigm).

As for parens, if you have a good editor, you don't see them at all while benefiting from the structure that they create.

>>7

(I'm >>6, and not >>8)

Ah, best of luck then. Learn You a Haskell should be skimmed over, and then I'd recommend diving into A Gentle Introduction to Haskell once you're comfortable with the functional style of programming. You can read Real World Haskell if you want, but I didn't like any of the programs they developed in that book (they all seemed sort of stupid, except for maybe the barcode scanner).

All of this being said, I was in a position similar to yours and ended up not liking Haskell. \: Too much mental masturbation, too many important insights stuffed inside PDF's on some professor's website, too many times of jumping through hoops to do anything involving advanced use of state or IO, too many bullshit answers from "experts" who apparently still didn't understand 50% of the language. I'm mostly back inside C, using Common Lisp only when I need to do something high-level. I want to like Haskell, but my gut instinct keeps telling me to avoid it.

YMMV.

I suggest reading >>6 for the basics, mess around with that for a while, and then once you start writing "real" programs read the relevant sections in >>5. If you have a lot of patience you can try just reading RWH cover to cover, it talks about the basics in a lot more detail, but I don't think it's really necessary.

>>8
I didn't say they were, I merely mentioned it because that's basically my only other options.

I already have my vim settings to auto close and skip parenthesis, but it's still a pain.

>>9
Thank you sir. I shall look.

No.

>>13
Enjoy having to manually transform your code when my structural editor does that and more for me.

>>14
Enjoy dying in a fucking fire, lithpfag.

>>11

When people say things like in >>8, they don't mean the paren highlighting and auto closing, but auto indentation. I personally never track the parentheses myself but rather reindent the whole expression and see how lines up, as it always matches its nesting, thus the quip about structure.

I would rather stick a fork up my dickhole than program in a functional language.

>>17
Well, that's what you're doing while programming in C++.

Nobody seems to care about Javascript.

>>23
OOP is not synonym of class-based OOP. Go back to /g/ with your retard.

>>23
Stop talking like a 3 year old.
Did you mean: functions are objects
Anyway, how is that a problem?

>>24
lol name me a serious oop language that is still in use today that doesn't have the `class' keyword, bitch LOL

>>26
JavaScript?

>>26
You're a fucking moron.

>>27
lol i said ``serious oop language'' faggot hahaha

>>28
lol you mad cause you bad?

>>29
Well, the 99% of the web is pure JS, not serious enough?

>>30
web programming is shit, your point being?

Trolling actually meant something in my day.

>>32
in your day everyone was a faggot, gtfo

The underage jewish girls are after me.

A prime example of /prog/ discussions.
