Is Haskell challenging to learn?
Unlike many other languages, it is widely believed that Haskell has its own challenges for a beginner to learn and use it.
Solutions to overcome the belief
- Social change: Boring Haskell#
- Personal change:
- Graham Hutton: “My experience is that people need to be ‘ready’ to learn what a monad is. If they are ready, it’s not too difficult, but still requires quite a bit of effort - as with anything worthwhile."
- Travis Whitaker: How do you know the difference between “novelty budget” and “inertia” and “sunk cost fallacy?”
