Erlang or Haskell?
I recently wrote about my plans to learn some new programming languages and indicated that my thoughts were leaning towards Erlang and Haskell. I’ve now made some progress with what appear to be the most suitable books for me about each language—although I’m yet to write anything beyond the extremely trivial in either.
But I am starting to get some initial feelings about which way I want to go, although there are clear concerns with both languages. Nevertheless, based on my reading so far, I think I’ll focus first on Erlang—at least unless I stumble over something that seems like a total impediment to further progress.
For the record, I have several books about both languages, but the two I’m using at the moment are Real World Haskell by Bryan O’Sullivan, John Goerzen and Don Stewart; and Erlang Programming by Francesco Cesarini and Simon Thompson.
