This video is worth more than 10 Haskell books. Authors spend 500 pages talking about math and patterns, when, in fact, 90% of development is entirely based on top of an ecosystem, not only the language itself.
And most of the explanations are GARBAGE. We are developers, not mathematicians wannabes. We don't teach C by starting to tell people how printf is actually implemented in ASM, so why do we do (sort of) that in Haskell?
@@beauteetmusculation8191 haskell is very dependant on maths, while normal imperative programming doesnt force you to have to know the insides of things (but you should still want to learn about those insides if you wanna be a good programmer).
Or the Emacs Window manager? See DistroTube channel how to set that up. He is currently using Emacs and Haskel (with Xmonad). He will stop using it soon, as he jumps around and test everything. :-)
Contrary to what was told in the video, I'd suggest to always begin learning a new language from learning about available package managers, code analysis tools, most usefull libraries, etc. because these are things that matter a lot. sometimes, even much more than language syntax and style itself, like with fortran, R or python.
Unfortunately, your setup doesn't seem to work on my system (slackware). I'm a Vim user, but would like to try out Emacs. I hoped that merely copying your emacs config files from your git repo into my home folder would suffice. Emacs starts up fine, but there's a problem with the Haskell mode. I keep getting the error: "The Haskell process 'Haskell' has died. Restart?" Any idea what could be the cause of this? EDIT: The haskell process no longer crashes after changing to the stable MELPA branch. But the key combinations C-c C-l and C-x e don't work. I can start an interactive haskell process from the menu though. Now the only thing that really doesn't work is sending the code to the haskell process with C-x e.
Running Linux, using Haskell and not using Xmonad as a window manager is a crime imo. You don't even need dmenu, Xmonad has its own prompt. It just makes my eye tick every time I watch your videos. Xmonad is an awesome window manager and it deserves way more love than it gets. Also, it's an actual real world Haskell application, so win-win in my book.
@Ralph Reilly calling configuring xmonad 'programming in Haskell' sounds like too strong of a term - number one, and number two, currently I live with my decision to abandon X in favor of Wayland and I have to content with a thousand of small inconvenience that nonetheless make me wish I was still in xmonad, every time lol
@@SimonWoodburyForget i know this comment is old, but emacs is literally a lisp interpreter, you can't get more bloated. Compared to other popular text editors on linux, It's VEEEERYYYY bloated.
@@SimonWoodburyForget LISP is as close as you get to minimalism when it comes to programming languages. Not modern Lisps. it may be the easiest language to implement, but just because it's easy to implement doesn't mean that the developers of the interpreter aren't going to make it bloated, also, Emacs comes with the GUI (which is written in C), the text editor part (which is written in C) and only then the elisp being an auxiliary language, not the core.
@@SimonWoodburyForget would you consider the GUI of a terminal emulator to not be part of it? Just because Lisp is easy to implement doesn't mean that anything that uses it is minimal. Go ahead and compare Emacs' implementation to Vim or Acme, And tell me Emacs isn't bloated in comparasion to them.

Yeah, it is what it is. ghcid doesn't give you the REPL, it just recompiles your files on changes and shows the errors. For REPL you need to run an instance of ghci (without ghcid) in a separate terminal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When I was still using Windows (3 years back I think), I used at first Haskell Platform: www.haskell.org/platform/#windows . Then I moved to Stack: docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/#how-to-install . I feel I should warn you, native GUI applications are not Haskell's strong suite. There are some libraries which use essentially browser to render GUI (I think Miso or was it something else?), so you can use power of HTML+CSS, but I don't think Haskell in this tech stack brings much (at least GUI-wise). There are a few native GUI libraries, but I think they are quite imperative, of lower quality (missing docs, no or almost no tutorials and so on) and their APIs not really designed in a Haskell way (more like bindings to C APIs).
You can install Emacs and GHC in Windows. It, developing programs etc) does works nearly as good as in Unix/Linux. :-) You could also use VirtualBox to do the developing in, or install Ubuntu (or another distro) from MS Windows store. There are lots of opportunities.
10:05 I felt personally attacked. But being serious, I'm new to Haskell and I am learning with that book, do you suggest any better book? I know what you just said about hlint but learning that way seems inefficient when new to the language and the paradigm.
How to do this on Windows: install vs code and search for "Haskell" under extensions Jk don't use Windows for Haskell I tried it it was a nightmare. Wsl is fine though

Good video. Helpful and enjoyable to watch.
Ok that "ghc --make" trick I didn't knew, I wish I knew about it much earlier.
I like your spontaneous and relatable jokes :D

А я юзаю VIM!
If you tell me you aren't a super villain you are a liar.
We all know you're a liar. Don't trust this guy, he is using Vim, not Emacs.
:wq, it was a term window this whole time! But wait, now he's exiting vim and it was eshell this whole time....
what you use to record you screens?
don’t read any book on Haskell, just watch this video first
In case for the people using windows or Mac and and editor like vs code or sublime there's an easy fix:
Stop
So interested in Haskell but it's so difficult to learn for me, seems i stupid for it :(
Have you tried learnyouahaskell.com/?
What's that fancy program launcher? Would your like to share your desktop/Linux setup ?
The window manager is dwm. I don't remember the name of the program launcher, but I used it before, they're both available at suckless.org.
@@ricardo.mazeto This is i3. Completely unrelated and very different in how it works. dwm is better tho imo

It is about the same size of most hello world programs this age. But the thing is that programs doesn't grow that much after that initial size.
