What you're saying is like arguing that the Japanese should switch from Kanji to Latin characters because more people worldwide use them. That's the language, it's not going to change. It's just silly to criticize Haskell/Japanese for not being immediately understandable without study.



No. That's wrong. Completely wrong.

All I'm asking for is a Kanji to Latin dictionary. It's not about changing Haskell syntax. And it's not about "studying" the syntax. Haskell has funny syntax with funny symbols. That's totally fine. I just need someone to say "see this symbol? that means cat!" Most tutorials do a terrible, terrible job of that.


Which introductory tutorials have you read?
