Yeah! Six months after graduating from Northwestern University I quit my cushy 6-figure WFH job to move to Finland as a quasi-illegal immigrant. (I say "quasi-" because "STEM undergrad from a top university moving to a much poorer country" is, ah, not what you usually think of.) I was unemployed for over a year due to passport issues, living in a tiny vacation town of ~10,000 close to the Arctic Circle, and used... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

If anyone else is wondering, it looks like HPFFP is "Haskell Programming from First Principles" :) https://haskellbook.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Forget about C++. Pick up a copy of Modern Programming Languages: A Practical Introduction. Learn SML; forget about the rest of the chapters. Then, learn Haskell from this book. Optionally work through this book. Optionally read through SICP (not recommended). Source: about 1 year ago

Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell is a fantastic resource for learning some of the more interesting bits of Haskell at a low level. I usually recommend it as a second book after Haskell Programming from First Principles, which is a super comprehensive and meaty intro to Haskell. Source: about 1 year ago

I would suggest that you learn Haskell first as a programming language and ignore type level programming. A good introduction to Haskell may be helpful to you: https://haskellbook.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

Hy: https://docs.hylang.org/en/stable/ I tend to stick to vanilla python though, mainly because Hy is too much of an hassle for my use cases. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I really like Hy because it's fully inter-operable with Python. But its documentation is insufficient for anything moderately complex, and its tooling support is pretty basic. If Hy were well documented and supported I'd use it for all my throwaway scripts and prototyping -- today I use Python for that. Source: over 1 year ago

I've been using the Hy REPL[0] whenever I've wanted to drop into a python REPL. The lack of whitespace formatting with Hy is great, but it still has access to all of python's libraries. [0] - https://docs.hylang.org/en/stable/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
