i stumbled over haskell about three years ago, when i was confronted with (sometimes boring) score analysis tasks at work and thought it was time to learn a new language. i've been hooked ever since and never looked back ;) these days i'm using haskell for my phd research [1], our data-driven synthesizer mescaline [2] and occasionally for sound and video installations [3]. none of this would have been possible without the amazing infrastructure and the high quality libraries the haskell community offers. i think that different (natural or computer) languages allow us to think about interesting problems differently. although i've had some previous exposure to functional programming (opal, anyone?), haskell essentially forced me to re-think my approach to programming, which, after all, turned out to be quite stimulating. <sk> [1] http://mtg.upf.edu/people/skersten [2] http://mescaline.puesnada.es [3] http://dissonoisex.org _______________________________________________ haskell-art mailing list haskell-art@lurk.org http://lists.lurk.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-art
