I don't hate stack. It is an impediment to learning, overall, big picture. I will just keep teaching effectively, discarding all impediments, including stack. Sorry that stack was, and probably will continue to be, an impediment for you.

I'm not trying to provoke an argument
@dibblego and I appreciate all the material you and@bitemyapp put out there. I'm just trying point out some actual impediments I have faced when trying to learn haskell. I got comfortable with one set of tooling, now I have to ditch it.pic.twitter.com/NCXX0z5sH4

Just use Stack. Tony develops weird aversions and projects them without caring if it improves things for others. It's like hating cilantro and then going around and telling people cilantro causes cancer.

https://github.com/bitemyapp/fp-course/commit/111f57327eaee869fb452d15099325155e174641 … Well it's not going to work with anything that isn't Nix and doesn't magically know what compiler to use. The above fixes it. I'll PR this so Tony can reject it even though it would strictly help people to use his course.

@Oenotria What you are being told here is incorrect. If you are interested in learning, there are many people waiting to help you.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I haven't paid you any money so you don't owe me anything. That said, if you are genuinely interested in helping people learn haskell then you need to accept people might want to use familiar tools. Thanks for merging

If you're in fact a beginner and are genuinely interested in learning it seems odd to me that you'd get hung up on a tooling choice rather than trusting the course instructor's experience regarding which tooling works best. Learning something new implies exploring the unfamiliar!

We already tried discussing this. Zero hurdles were jumped.

Feel free to post our complete conversation on twitter. Telling people they need to switch operating systems to learn haskell because "windows does not exist" is not a way to encourage people to learn haskell. That seems like a big hurdle to me. PS. Cilantro is delicious.

*eyeroll* Yes, I definitely said that. Yes.

Now show me this bit: "people they need to switch operating systems to learn haskell" Do good comprehension skills.
