Re: [Haskell-cafe] Learning Haskell

I second that! Haskell is a very fun and engaging language (with its accompanying corpus of theorems, and its great community)... My timing is a little bit longer than Rick's... I've been eyeing Haskell for about 8 months, reading books, poking around etc. I've started to feel comfortable enough in the last month to begin a serious(ish) project. For my debut, I'm trying to build a game with HOpenGL. I wouldn't take my 8-month timeline as much of a benchmark, however, since I have not been very deeply involved in studying the language (I have no projects that require day-to-day coding in Haskell).

I've been messing with Haskell since the Middle of January on evenings and weekends. Just now I'm getting to the point where I can construct nontrivial programs with little help from #haskell.

It is by no means my most proficient language, I've been coding C++ and other languages for over 10 years. It is by far my favorite, however, and if I could do it full time I would.

How long did it take you to become proficient in Haskell? By that, I mean - how long until you were just as comfortable with Haskell as you were with your strongest language at that time? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Learning-Haskell-tp22673552p22673552.html Sent from the Haskell - Haskell-Cafe mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
