I spent the next couple of weeks going through “ Yet Another Haskell Tutorial” and I remember it being incredibly difficult yet incredibly rewarding. Haskell? What’s that?Īfter reading more about Haskell, functional programming, lazy evaluation, and type inference and seeing the elegance of the various code samples, I was hooked. When I came upon the bzip2 homepage and consequently Julian Seward’s homepage I found a short note about Haskell and how it was a super fun and interesting language to write a compiler for. Reading and understanding open source projects was a main source of knowledge and inspiration for me when I was learning how to program. Like many people in those days, when I was in high school I spent a lot of time playing around with code on my computer. My first encounter with Haskell started out about eight years ago.
