Haskell for Clojurists
Which is why Bodil wanted to show you another of her favourite languages: Haskell, a close cousin to Clojure.
Watch this SkillsCast recording of a talk by Bodil Stokke, where she shares many crucial ideas like immutable data structures and a strong focus on pure functions.
Bodil explains how they diverge in their approaches to metaprogramming (Clojure, as we know, employs macros for ultimate power, whereas Haskell's approach is through a remarkably powerful type system) and than asks "Why would you prefer one over the other?"
Why indeed; that's what she then examines, and whether or not you decide to start using Haskell like a category theorist after this talk, we can guarantee you a brush with Haskell will make you a better Clojure programmer.
