I&#39;m new to Haskell and I can&#39;t really call myself a decent programmer in any other language. Do you think it&#39;s wrong to think that I can contribute to the statistics library? I can&#39;t decide if I&#39;m being pragmatic for me to learn Haskell and contribute to the statistics library in hopes of being as productive as I would be in learning R. I&#39;m wanting to write a scraper and analyze that data, and I figure this is what the statistics module can be used for. The other alternative to Haskell and R, is to use something like node.js for scraping, js&#39;s regex for filtering, and analyzing the resulting data with RPy.<br>
<br>Here&#39;s a brief overview of my programming exp:<br>Python:<br>- How to Think Like a Computer Scientist using Python<br>- official tutorial<br>- official reference material<br>- a few project euler problems<br><br>Javascript<br>
- all of the Mozilla docs<br><br>Haskell<br>- started with the RWH, switched to 98&#39; Report, switched over to Yet Another Haskell Tutorial, switched to Gentle Intro, and finally switched to Learn You a Haskell and I&#39;m on the seventh chapter now. I&#39;m considering switching yet again to A Gentle Intro, because it&#39;s been months now, and I just want to finish one of these, and that seems to be quickest route.<br>
<br>Other<br>- I have briefly learned about C and C++, I start an intro to C++ programming next semester.<br><br>Thank you for your help.<br>
