It is nothing like anything you have seen before (unless you know F#, mentioned above). Getting your head around this will take quite a while to begin with, but once you do it will change the way you look at all other programs for the better - believe me!

That was kind of my idea behind this. I just wanted to see who's behind all modern languages. Had a look at Haskell's syntax, looks very different from what I've seen before. I might actually start learning it. I do know C# and PHP already. Python has been a language I have wanted to learn for a while now, but haven really gotten around to it yet.

Java in my opinion is very slow compared to other modern languages. I do know a bit of java already, but I do not plan on using it in the furute.

I found the book written by Dennis Ritchie himself, so I think I'll read through that aswell.

If anyone was wondering, I'll list some of the languages I already know moderately well.

• PHP
• JavaScript
• C++
• C#
• PAWN

HTML and CSS aswell, but those aren't really languages.
