I am currently learning haskell and love the theoretical nature of it. I want to learn the math behind it, where are good places to start?

more pics of this chick.
thx
>>54313443
lambda calculus
>>54313443
1st grade math.
>>54313443
If "haskell" means an ancient incantation to remove bathing suit tops, I also now encourage you to learn it.
>>54313472
Yes sir.
>>54313511
Mathematical Logic?
>>54313551
Thanks anon.
the math is useless bullshit
kind of like music theory compared to just playing what sounds good

Category theory is not first grade and WILL replace set theory. Learning it will help you understand the language quickly.
OP hereWhere is Haskell used in industry? Is it useful to learn? I enjoy it a lot so far but I see so many sites bashing it as abstract masturbation and useless in industry...
Category theory is a lot easier than you think. The terminology makes it seem more complicated than it is.

Haskell Curry wrote what is still today the best book on mathematical logic
>>54313934
that's because it's abstract masturbation and useless in industry

>Where is Haskell used in industry?
Nowhere, it's a fringe language popular with hobbyists
>Is it useful to learn?
Most definitely. Much like lisp (or the platonic idea thereof), you don't learn it to write it, you learn it to understand the profound lesson learning it represents.
It's also worth pointing out a lot of off beat languages with cultish followings (which describes haskell perfectly) grew into popular mainstream languages. See python, perl, ruby, to a lesser extent the likes of rust, scala, CAML descendants and clojure. Hell, even java had a small core of fervent (and largely right) adherents in its early days before a decade of design-by-committee turned it into the bureaucratic pile of shit it is today.

Thanks for the comment. I'm interested in mathematical logic and learning a bit of lambda calculus on the way. I can't express how much I'm enjoying learning haskell. Of course I'll never use it in any of my classes, but I see myself tinkering around with it on my own time. I'm also picking up a lot of math it utilizes as well (besides lambda).
