⬐ jzelinskieI was beginning to think the database scene was dire until he showed off esqueleto. Query composition is a huge deal in the non-trivial python webapps I've worked on.As an outsider being exposed for the first time, this use of Template Haskell seems pretty unnecessary and the code it generated looked pretty nuts.
⬐ bbcbasicNice to see real life tutorials on Haskell.⬐ beezle⬐ BobTheCoderText from 1st lecture page spot on: And then there are the “space wizard” level articles that hardly anyone can understand Most people drop off at the intermediate stage.Thank goodness. So tired of learning haskell = become a master of solving algorithms.⬐ crimsonalucard⬐ hiphipjorgeSolving algorithms in haskell is very different from what people usually do with imperative languages.I went to this lecture a couple of days ago.Alexandr's Haskell lectures on pragmatic Haskell are really good. He focuses on how to get stuff done with Haskell and not so much on the obscure, theoretical parts of Haskell most people focus on. Those are important too, but not as many people focus on actually making stuff with Haskell.
If you're in SF and want to learn Haskell, def check out the Haskell meetup.
⬐ kkleindevThanks for pointing this out.
