@GabrielG439 @dibblego If only life was soo simple. Anyway, Hugs fits the bill perfectly; I'm teaching principles not a particular language.

@headinthebox @GabrielG439 @dibblego Unis have been doing that for over a decade, nobody seems to take Haskell with them after.

@headinthebox @GabrielG439 @dibblego perhaps we should try something different?

@headinthebox @GabrielG439 @dibblego Maybe give them enough that they can actually get something done in the nice language they've learnt.

@headinthebox @GabrielG439 @dibblego Wonder how it would go if linguistics depts had their students study conlangs only, no human langs.

@bitemyapp Teaching modern English syntax is too hard because it changes. Only teach Chaucerian syntax. @headinthebox @GabrielG439 @dibblego

@argumatronic @bitemyapp @GabrielG439 @dibblego I don't care *at all* about Haskell, it is just a medium.

@headinthebox @argumatronic @bitemyapp @dibblego Isn't the 'what' more important to teach than 'how', in this case? Ideas > implementations.
