I thought that learning C would give me a good baseline for learning whatever other programming language.

Then I started looking into Haskell.

Your learning step is cool!

Nothing prepares you for haskell. It's a different paradigm. But once you learn those two you will be a semi-god

What aplication has Haskell over most-known languages like C and Java? I'm afraid I have never heard of it...

@Teravan maybe you just don't listen.

@Teravan C is a procedural language. Java is object oriented. Haskell in the other hand is a functional language. It's not that they solve different problems, it's just another way of solving the same problems. Which one is better? None.

And Lisp??

Erlang or elixir might somehow prepare you for Haskell better. But most who learn haskell & Erlang would likely learn haskell first anyway

Pure

Nothing is pure in this world, it's a beautiful lie. Just waitbtill you have to convince your team members, manager, client to use haskell. Everything is dirty, impure and painful
