I've also been working high school students a bit and functional
programming is a great way to teach the principals of computation.
The best results come when FP is applied to domains that get kids
excited. I've had very good luck with Haskore as an excellent way to
bring computation to a general
I had the good fortune to teach Haskell to some thousand freshmen a
few years ago, and noticed that some who did especially well had no
previous programming experience. This supports Wolfgang Jeltsch's
claim that Haskell is not inherently difficult to learn.
I've taught similar numbers of stu

This matches my experience, too. When I've taught Haskell to first
year college students, there have always been some hard core hackers
who've been at it in C or VB or Perl or something like that for
years, and they rarely take kindly to Haskell. The ones without any
programming background do bette

Hi,
I wouldn't claim that Haskell is very difficult to learn. I think, people

This can hopefully be fixed by applying the simple patch that I
