  • Hope you liked the video! This took a while to make (mostly bc of uni stuff getting in the way).
    In this video, I will be going over the basics of Haskell syntax. Haskell is syntactically very different from other languages, so this video should clear up a lot of confusion around Haskell code. I won't assume you understand everything covered in this video going onward, this is just to make sure I can explain the more interesting stuff without having to explain syntax-related tangents in full detail.

    Amazing content my nakama!!!! Im glad i found you while youre just starting your channel. I hope that one day you post haskell solutions of leetcode problems one day. I feel like if you show elegeant and juicy looking haskell solutions to all of those in the leetcode rat race, thats the easiest way to attract a lot of coders towards haskell as most of us are looking for easy to understand code.

    Funnily enough, I think Rust may be a very good transitional language to help programmers familiar with IP get started with FP. It allows you to do everything you can do in an imperative language, but it has many functional elements that often make your code cleaner and more concise.
    This is all to say, that instead of nosediving into insanity land, you get to ease into it 😅

    • @user-tx4wj7qk4t
      @user-tx4wj7qk4t 4 місяці тому +1

      Disagree completely. It's a systems language so not even a general purpose one and the fact that it has imperative nonsense undermines everything. Not to mention this isn't insanity, this is computer science. It has math and logic backing it. Imperative languages don't and were made completely adhoc and arbitrary with no denotational semantics behind it

  • @okdoomer620

    Hmm... I think the function type arrow has a better explanation. lets say we have a function f :: a -> a -> a -> a, so it "has three arguments" (which is not the whole truth) and returns a value of the same type. The reason why there are only arrows has indeed something to do with currying, but I think it's best explained with implicit braces. if you call the function you can do it like that: f x y z, but there you are leaving off unnecessary braces, equivalent to: (((f x) y) z), and here comes the interesting part. It's the other way around in the type, here we're leaving off these braces: f :: a -> (a -> (a -> a)). So every function ever only takes a single argument, and just returns another function. In practice it doesn't really hurt to think of function taking multiple arguments, but to really understand the syntax it's not that helpful.

  • @perarneng
    @perarneng 8 місяців тому +2

    Excellent video! 🎉I think the currying part might be a little bit wrong though. Calling a function with only some of the arguments is called Partial Application. Currying is afaik know the process of turning a “normal “ function in to a curried function. Other than that very nice video, great visuals and clear explanations 🤩

    Haskell syntax is so simple and pretty... When you are doing tiny to small things. The moment you do medium or larger, the syntax becomes unreadable.

    • @peppidesu
      @peppidesu  6 місяців тому +1

      ok cool ig?

    • @IronicHavoc
      @IronicHavoc 2 місяці тому

      I think the idea (in theory) is that it's predisposes you to break up medium and large tasks into smaller ones. Obviously thats not always possible, but I also wouldn't write off that aspect of it.

    • @IronicHavoc
      @IronicHavoc 2 місяці тому +1

      Like I know people who work with Haskell who have similar criticisms but they provide a lot more nuance than "it only works for small things"

  • @callyral
    @callyral 6 місяців тому

    as someone who mainly uses rust and has used lisps, i recognize a lot of similarity.
    type variables are like rust's generics, guards are like lisp if

    • @peppidesu
      @peppidesu  6 місяців тому +1

      the likeness with rust will be even more when we start talking about typeclasses and monads, most of the "errors as values" and "make invalid states unrepresentable" philosophy stems from that.

    Nice introduction video to the art of Haskell programming, I think that a good programmer should learn some Haskell since it introduces new and useful concepts that most other languages don’t have direct support for. Even if you end up using other languages for your project the spill over effects from learning Haskell can be very useful.

    The syntax doesn't make any sense and there is no real solid reason.
    I like funcional languages but this one is a big no.
    Thanks again

    • @gJonii

      For me this seems to make much more sense than other (functional or otherwise) languages I've seen.

    • @IronicHavoc
      @IronicHavoc 2 місяці тому

      To be fair, those other languages are often more intuitive *because* they borrowed from or built off of Haskell.
      Also the only "weird" about the syntax here I can think of is currying? Which I think is just something you have to get used to for functional programming / lambda calculus in general.

    Arguments and parameters are different things. The function declaration (not applying or execution) uses parameters, not arguments.
