Pure functional programming without fear or frustration
If you are new to programming entirely,Haskell is a great first language. You may have noticed the trend of “Functional Programming in [Imperative Language]” books and tutorials and learning Haskell gets right to the heart of what functional programming is. Languages such as Java are gradually adopting functional concepts,but most such languages were not designed to be functional languages,after all. We would not encourage you to learn Haskell as an only language,but because Haskell is a pure functional language,it is a fertile environment for mastering functional programming techniques. That way of thinking and problem solving is useful,no matter what other languages you might know or learn.
Haskell is not a difficult language to use. Quite the opposite. I’m now able to tackle problems that I couldn’t have tackled when I was primarily a Clojure,Common Lisp,or Python user.
