At Canterbury University

I had to do a first year paper in data structures and algorithms. I scraped through, I just could not “get it”. I’ve decided that Haskell (Hugs is what we used) is not going to conquer me. I am going to relearn and understand functional programming.

Now the slacker kids get to use Java. They aren’t forced to learn the joy that is functional/declarative programming.
