Huh. No kidding? I'm actually taking CS 642 this term.

So, who's doing what with functional programming here these days? |

Heya wtd! I'm taking a similar course right now, venturing into the functional side with Scheme and SML.  |

Excellent! O'Caml's tools blow away those available for SML, but the syntax of SML is much nicer.Y |

In preparation of learning Scheme next year at Waterloo, I am currently writing a scheme interpreter in Haskell! Unfortunately, a Haskell interpreter is slightly more advanced, so I doubt I'll be able to write a Haskell interpreter in Scheme to be run inside my Haskell-Scheme Interpreter  |

Feel free to share with us once completed! |

Feel free to share with us once completed! Actually, it's a lot less difficult than you would imagine. There are two main routes you can go, and given how simplistic Scheme's syntax is, neither works out to be too complex. You can either use Happy (or something similar) to define a grammar, which it then uses to generate a parser for you, or you can use Parsec to code the parser up yourself. Once parsed you just end up with a bunch of S-expressions which are extremely easy to evaluate. There is also a ton of references on the subject, let me see if I can dredge up a few... This one gives a nice overview of the process - http://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/lisp-in-haskell.htmlB Incredible guide to using Parsec - http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/using-parsec.html This goes into slightly more detail, nearly spelling out the entire process for you if you simply wanted to copy - http://jonathan.tang.name/files/scheme_in_48/tutorial/overview.html Really, I'm not doing anything new: with a bit of dedication, this project could easily be someone's Hello World to the language. With how powerful Haskell is, and how nicely laid out some of the libraries are, its just a matter of learning enough of the language to understand some of the papers. Unfortunately, in about ten minutes I will be leaving the country, so I won't be able to continue working on it for a week or so. |

Not doing much. Thinking of looking at Java again to do some modding in Minecraft. |

I'm back! I have no programming classes this year (I finished all of them already), so I have been away. I have been on a language learning spree, but once I found Haskell, I stopped. Haskell is my language of choice now. |

This is a topic about functional programming... Tony @ Wed Dec 22, 2010 1:12 am wrote: Will be taking CS 442 Principles of Programming Languages -- it has some functional programming covered...
Anyway, this class is over now, but I loved how during lectures the prof would randomly make fun of language developers. Quotes off the top of my head:
