Ok, so I'm doing things somewhat backward. I've been using Haskell for a while now, whenever I get a chance to. But in order to become more involved in high-performance computing projects at my work, I need to learn C. [snip] My question is, as I learn C, are there any particular Haskell concepts I should keep in the back of my mind, or is it better to approach C from scratch?
Sounds like you would be an almost ideal user for Jekyll. Too bad it's only in the alpha stages: http://jekyllc.sourceforge.net/ You might find it useful to study how Haskell's familiar product and sum types would be represented in unfamiliar C. If I recall correctly you can find examples of the translation in the Jekyll presentations/documentation. So even if you never used it, it would be a worthwhile read. Good luck, Jason
