That's a bit of an off-topic but may I ask, why Haskell over Clojure. What are the differences? You partly asked that in the 2nd part, but I would like to know

That's a bit of an off-topic but may I ask, why Haskell over Clojure. What are the differences? You partly asked that in the 2nd part, but I would like to know more. I never did any serious FP so would love to know where to start: Scala? Clojure(Script)? Haskell? F#?
- bkirwi 12y agoHere's an article that was on the frontpage recently; some reflections from a Clojurist that switched to Haskell: http://bitemyapp.com/posts/2014-04-29-meditations-on-learning-haskell.html http://bitemyapp.com/posts/2014-04-29-meditations-on-learnin...
- mark_l_watson 12y agoIt is mainly the stronger type system. I like the upfront checks. That said, I have used Clojure a lot - a fine language. BTW, I think that learning some Haskell will help with Clojure.
- JackMorgan 12y agoI'd start with Haskell or Scheme. They are a lot easier to get started and learn than anything JVM. For Haskell, this course is awesome: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/lectures.html http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/lectures.html For Scheme, just do the first two chapters of SICP. In fact, do that anyway!
