2021-07-20 04:12:18 justsomeguy is checking out the paper now
2021-07-20 04:13:36 <justsomeguy> But I think I'm probably taking that quote from the book too literally.
2021-07-20 04:14:06 <lechner> which book?
2021-07-20 04:14:21 <justsomeguy> Haskell programming from first princpiles (haskellbook.com)
2021-07-20 04:15:21 <justsomeguy> I'm, uhh, currently over-analysing the first chapter as part of a strange procrastination ritual.
2021-07-20 04:16:21 P1RATEZ joins (piratez@user/p1ratez)
2021-07-20 04:16:49 <lechner> sometimes it's worthwhile to get your bearings right

2021-07-20 04:17:42 <justsomeguy> Well, at least I'm still learning new things from it.

2021-07-20 04:31:36 <dsal> It's a great book. Depends on what you need to get out of it, though. I didn't care much about that particular bit of theory.

2021-07-20 04:45:07 <justsomeguy> I've been developing a love hate relationship with it. I like the order that it teaches things in, and also how it leaves a lot of breadcrumbs to explore further. On the other hand, I often wish it to be more explcit about what the learning objectives for each chapter are, and have better code examples of where a newly introduced abstraction will be useful. It's also just too long, and not
2021-07-20 04:45:09 <justsomeguy> structured well enough to keep track of things (section names aren't descriptive enough, no figure numbers).
2021-07-20 04:45:36 <justsomeguy> But part of that is also just me learning how to read a big book.
2021-07-20 04:46:48 justsomeguy hasn't attempted to read a large non-fiction book where he can't "keep it all in his head" at once before this.

2021-07-20 05:09:27 <dsal> Well, the lambda calculus thing is the first chapter, so like, I'm not sure how you got such a judgment. :)
2021-07-20 05:09:39 <dsal> But it mostly just walks you through building a lot of the fundamentals.
2021-07-20 05:10:47 <dsal> I had working haskell code I was working on when I read it, though. A lot of what it did was help me understand my code and the ideas behind it better. And dissolved some of the magic.
2021-07-20 05:11:30 <justsomeguy> As for how I came up with that opionion; I've read up to chapter 22, but am revisiting ch 1.

2021-07-20 05:15:08 <justsomeguy> Overall, I like the book a lot. Maybe I shouldn't have said so much; I got a bit frustrated with it.
2021-07-20 05:16:20 <sm> justsomeguy: sounds quite reasonable

2021-07-20 05:31:56 <dsal> Ah. It sounded like you were just on chapter one. heh.
2021-07-20 05:32:24 <dsal> It's not a *perfect* book, but I liked the pace. I can totally understand why some people wouldn't like it. I enjoyed forgetting I ever knew how to program and just hopping in.
