Stuck for a topic at Newcastle's Ruby group, I attempted an off the cuff talk on what Haskell is about, and what Ruby programmers could learn from it. Correct handling of concurrently accessed external resources is a demanding problem in programming. The first thing that you may notice when looking at a Haskell program is that there are no brackets. If you've never enountered Haskell before, I find The Evolution of a Haskell Programmer an amusing and informative read. In Haskell , you only apply brackets when attempting to group things together. At http://learnyouahaskell.com/, you can read through the entire book Learn You a Haskell for the Great Good for free. The worldwide Haskell community met up over beers today to celebrate their unprecedented discovery of an industry programmer who gives a shit about Haskell. Haskell is an order of magnitude faster than interpreted languages like Ruby and Python2. The Haskell list monad already allows a style of programming that feels somewhat like non-deterministic logic programming, with backtracking to do a depth-first left-to-right search. Guest(s): Simon Peyton Jones Host(s): Markus We start our discussion with a brief look at what Haskell is and how a pure functional language is different from non-pure languages. The standard approaches rely on database transactions or concurrency mechanisms like locks. Its efficiency (see Snap Benchmark & Warp Benchmark1). 3) Hiring Manager C says that he likes his programmers to have learnt Haskell even though they don't use Haskell in the firm. A while back, I tried looking into functional programming in Python. Haskell is a relatively new programming language that, though gaining in popularity, is not nearly as widespread as C or Java. Most of what I saw and read made little to no sense.
