Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! is a fun, illustrated guide to learning
|
||
|
|
Haskell, a functional programming language that's growing in popularity. Learn
|
||
|
|
You a Haskell for Great Good! introduces programmers familiar with imperative
|
||
|
|
languages (such as C++, Java, or Python) to the unique aspects of functional
|
||
|
|
programming. Packed with jokes, pop culture references, and the author's own
|
||
|
|
hilarious artwork, Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! eases the learning
|
||
|
|
curve of this complex language, and is a perfect starting point for any
|
||
|
|
programmer looking to expand his or her horizons. The well-known web tutorial
|
||
|
|
on which this book is based is widely regarded as the best way for beginners
|
||
|
|
to learn Haskell, and receives over 30,000 unique visitors monthly.</p>

★★☆☆☆

</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>I have mixed feelings about this book.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It starts really really well, explaining how the language works. And then it
|
||
|
|
falls on the trap of "functional programming" that, instead of focusing on what
|
||
|
|
you can do with the language, it goes lengths talking about monads, monoids,
|
||
|
|
functors and nondeterminism that you keep wondering why it is taking so long
|
||
|
|
explaining function programming instead of focusing on what you can do and when
|
||
|
|
you should use one.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>There is even a bad description of "don't do this because it will look horrible
|
||
|
|
when you convert to this other form". Wondering if something will look horrible
|
||
|
|
if you write the same thing in a different form should never be a deterrent for
|
||
|
|
something.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, there is the language. Surely, Haskell adds a missing point in Lisp,
|
||
|
|
which are the types, but them it goes off the rails trying to remove
|
||
|
|
parenthesis and the result is a mass of weird symbols, all representing the
|
||
|
|
same thing. And you have, as I mentioned before, different forms to write the
|
||
|
|
same code, which makes the language highly irregular, one trait that really
|
||
|
|
pisses me off in programming languages. </p>
