Today I will start another programming course at FutureLearn. The course is named “Functional Programming in Haskell: Supercharge Your Coding” and it looks interesting. Here is a short description of the course:
“On this introductory course, you will discover the power, elegance and simplicity of functional programming in Haskell. By the end, you will be able to:
characterise the differences between imperative and functional programming paradigms;
implement small-scale functional programs in elementary Haskell;
apply standard combinators for operating on lists;
create new algebraic data types and use recursion to define functions that traverse recursive types; and reason in a mathematical manner about data types, functions, recursion and similar functional constructs.”

Haskell is fun language. I like how programs written in Haskell read more like descriptions of what things are and how they are related than step by step algorithms.
Haskell looks like fun. However, after decades of working with imperative languages, I am a bit scared.
Been trying my luck with Haskell. Fun fun!
Good luck. I’m still struggling. I will continue anyways.
