www.haskell.org VS tilapia

Haskell - a general-purpose functional language with many unique properties (purely functional, lazy, expressive types, STM, etc). You mentioned you dabbled in Haskell, why not try it again? (I've written about 7 things I learned from Haskell, and my book is linked at them bottom if you're interested :) )

Where you go is entirely up to you. According to haskell.org, Haskell jobs are a-plenty. sigh

✨ Supported by http://haskell.org

Btw here is the repo I am talking about: https://github.com/haskell-infra/www.haskell.org .

I just jumped into the wiki "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 hours" which looks pretty good. (although some of the text explanation is hard to understand without context).. I used cabal to set up the starter project. Sublime editor seems to work OK and I just use the git Bash shell on windows to compile the program directly on the command line. So maybe this is all good enough for now (?). It seems installing it from haskell.org with ghcup was more straight forward than I thought.

We made or are making some (small for now) contributions to projects like Cabal and haskell.org, and we hope to ramp it up as time goes.

Maths 2 exists qnd it's called Haskell

Yeah, definitely. We're working on adding a guide[1] like that to haskell.org as we speak :)

If you have a chance, you could look over the PR and tell me whether this is roughly what you're thinking of.

p.s. I am also working on a PR for haskell.org that would hopefully make the webpage a bit more friendly for newcomers, also focused on clearly outlining the journey to get started with Haskell easily. It is not as opinionated as this blog post, but it still tried to make things a bit more straightforward: https://github.com/Martinsos/www.haskell.org/compare/master...Martinsos:www.haskell.org:getting-started .

Done

Perhaps the documentation for Char should contain examples of how you write the literals. Tracking as https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/tilapia/issues/128

Can you please report concrete examples here: https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/tilapia/issues/new

I'll do what I can to improve the situation, but I need to know which packages precisely you are talking about.

Thanks! Tracking at https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/tilapia/issues/109

It would be nice with a "modern cabal for stack users" tutorial (ddg tells me it's an issue https://github.com/tomjaguarpaw/tilapia/issues/11 ), answering questions like

If you're on Windows and you're feeling brave you could try these new instructions developed by a collaborator of mine over at the tilapia project. If anything goes wrong with those instructions then please put a message on the pull request describing what the problem was and we'll try to get it fixed.

Great! I'd be happy to have you on board. Please "Watch" the repo so that you are notified of discussions that happen there. Feel free to start your own discussions at any time by opening an issue.

Feel free to collaborate with me on Tilapia. At the very least I would welcome knowing about your ideas.

I also have a personal project (tilapia) for tracking difficulties in the Haskell ecosystem. Feel free to post any observations, questions or difficulties there.
