Re: Ground Up

You're right with this (and the rest too). In did not pretend to play an expert. I just shared my impression. Anyway, I think there are many reasons to learn functional programming first, and then haskell as an implementation. Max. On Fri, Mar 01, 2002 at 12:47:34AM -0800, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

c) I have a very high opinion of Caml and Scheme, and their impls, but I think you are being a bit unfair on Haskell here. Caml has only one impl, and Scheme has many incompatible variants (eg PLT Scheme), so in practice you have to stick to one impl unless you use a the R3RS subset. I don't think any of them are more stable than any particular one of the Haskell impls.
