On: Do I Really Need a Programming Language?

[JackMorgan]

Is Haskell the semantically sane language you prefer? Fascinating. The best Haskell book I can find is next for me as soon as I finish SICP, any suggestions? I'd love it if the book had homework like SICP.

One of them.

I liked Learn You a Haskell for Great Good, but that is maybe just because I am a childish person. :-)

That's a great book! It also inspired "Learn You Some Erlang for Great Good" too.

Both are available online for free!

I started Learn You a Haskell a couple days ago on a lark and I'm also loving it. I've also heard a lot of praise for Real World Haskell which I plan to look at next.

Combine them both and you have a fantastic resource. They complement each other very well.

What makes it saner than clojure? The type safety?
