fp-course VS adventofcode

The tooling around F# is very lacklustre, I wish it had better support from MS.

As for learning a functional language, I recommend this Haskell tutorial[0], and accompanying video series of an experienced haskeller running through it[1]. I've read countless texts and tutorials explaining Haskell and FP to me but it didn't fully click until I saw someone with experience using the language and tooling effectively.

If your goal is to learn parser combinators (as opposed to just attoparsec), you should really consider doing the parser module of the Nicta FP course.

Seconding "Haskell Programming From First Principles". There's also the FP course with lots of exercises on common Haskell abstractions: https://github.com/system-f/fp-course

Intro course: https://github.com/system-f/fp-course

Also, when teaching the NICTA/Data61/System-F FP course, one of the first things you will learn is all functions take exactly one argument, and this is always true, there are no exceptions. Internalising this will help you a lot when you start to playing with things like Applicative and Monads (which you will, soon, and eventually realise you already use all the time in the other languages you use)

Pretty cool. They note that they are inspired by Go by Example [0] and Rust by Example [1], and this book seems stylistically similar to the community-driven Learn X in Y minutes site [2] which covers quick syntax/conceptual overviews for many other languages as well.

Looks like typeclasses.com offers a few more advanced Haskell courses for a $29 USD/month subscription. For the same target audience looking for free coursework/exercises, I'd recommend working through the Data61 Haskell course [3]. Brian McKenna has a nice Youtube series [4] covering it.

Not a project exactly, but a series of exercises that lead to couple of projects: https://github.com/system-f/fp-course. Let me know what you think.

My Scala solution – to be cleaned up.

Welcome back to my series of Advent of Code solutions in MiniScript! Day 18 was pretty straightforward, though it presents some interesting choices in how to represent the data -- choices I'm not sure I made optimally.

My Scala solution.

And I've solved all of the Advent of Code problems so far this year, which is utterly unimportant but still brings me joy.

If you'd enjoy some coding challenges, advent of code (https://adventofcode.com/) is currently going on.

Welcome back to my series of Advent of Code solutions in MiniScript! In Day 17 we got to (sort of) play Tetris. Five different Tetris-like shapes fall into a pit, moved left or right on each step according to the input. The first task is to see how high this stack will grow after 2022 blocks have been dropped in.

Welcome back to my series of Advent of Code solutions in MiniScript! Day 16 was... how to put this?
