What is Haskell good for? For what reasons should I learn it?
Haskell Language
Nathaniel Evans
Ryder Brooks
Haskell is general purpose, you can do whatever you want with it.
Jonathan Mitchell
I heard it is used a lot in mathematical research, what can you tell me about it? Also, how hard is it?
Easton Garcia
I think it's to learn how to use functional features in other languages such as C++ and Python
Leo Russell
The jobs I've seen in Haskell are usually bio-pharma, fintech or anywhere that culling big data counts.
It's not so much hard as very different & the learnong resources aren't good for novices or passive hobbyists.
If you have the drive, learn it.
Brandon Smith
I'm a mathematician, I've heard it was used a lot in mathematical research, I just wanted to know more about that, currently looking for languages related to that area.
Anthony Hall
If you just want straight up math you could learn Agda or Coq instead.
Ryder Rodriguez
nothing
James Cooper
It's probably a good fit for you desu...
With your background it'll prolly be a snap to throw you mathematical wizadry into ghci & do your thang
Jonathan Torres
Insteresting, didn't know about those.
Thanks.
