Hasekll Road to Future

Several friends have asked me about Haskell functional programming language. I haven't used it in daily jobs, yet I'm learning it not only because of its beauty and simplicity to express math, logic and algorthim, but also the fact that it's quite a hard excersize for my brain. There's no other language that has the density of new concepts as Haskell does.

Besides its being lazy and pure (shocked by the conecpts? hehe), Haskell also has the ability to define internal domain specific language (DSL) like Ruby. I wish there will be a Haskell killer application to utilize this advantage in the similar way as Rails to Ruby.

唉，最近已经直接被haskell的类型给弄晕了， .

实际有多个成功案例的比如Erlang, OCaml。Lisp和Haskell也有个别例子，比如Emacs和Darcs。

我个人不觉得FP会大范围流行起来，不过显然它的很多设计理念正在逐步渗透到主流语言中。FP在特定领域中将占据更突出的优势，比如Erlang对高并发应用，OCaml对高性能符号或数值计算。

F#是OCaml的一个.Net上的方言，在兼容的基础上有所增强和扩展。

那么现在的fp，那种不那么学院？也就是实际使用比较爽的.ocaml吗？

现在是动态语言的流行，那么cookoo觉得fp有可能流行起来吗?sicp越看，越觉得lisp的强大，太强大了，嘿嘿.

ps:f#是由ocaml演变来的吗？

Haskell练练脑子还行，实际用会比较郁闷。errr...最近ruby用的少了，说貌似也对呵呵。

  我等sicp看完，就准备学习haskell了，看很多老外的blog，他们都很喜欢haskell 的说。

PS:今天才知道cookoo貌似是个ruby程序员，嘿嘿.
