Functional Programming Frenzy
My journey into the world of Erlang is progressing nicely. I’m really excited by the possibilities the language offers.
I wanted to get more perspective on functional programming by learning another functional language as well. Since my forays into LISP over the years never amounted to much, I decided to try out Haskell. I’ve been concerned about the buzz surrounding Erlang — buzz always seems to mask why something really is good or useful, because some are clamoring that it’s good and useful for everything.
So, I ordered a copy of “Haskell: the Craft of Functional Programming” — I mean heck, how do you spend your Fridays?
