What's this? A page about Functional Programming languages at On Ruby? Well, I've written about a number of non Ruby topics here, and there's enough FP stuff to warrant it's own page.
At one point, I also ran the On Erlang blog. I've decided to merge all of my computer related posts into On Ruby to keep myself sane.
I've looked mostly at Scala, Haskell and Erlang, with news, book reviews, and interviews about both. There's some OCaml stuff coming as well.
If you're a Rubyist looking to expand your horizons, there's probably something here for you. If you don't care about Ruby at all, don't let the blog's name scare you away.
I've probably done the most work in the Erlang community. I'm a pure beginner when it comes to writing Erlang code, but I like a lot of what I've seen and read. The community itself is especially nice. Here are some of my best (or most popular) posts about Erlang:
- Getting to know erlang-mode
- Practical Erlang Programming Mini Interview is a bit old, but it's a good conversation with two of the authors of O'Reilly's upcoming book.
- Concurrent Programming with Erlang/OTP - an early look — this one covers the book Manning has in the works.
- Reia- A New Dynamic Language on the Erlang VM is an interview with Tony Arcieri about his new language.
I've spent a little time learning more Haskell. The language intrigues me and the community is pretty strong as well.:
- Book Review: Real World Haskell — just what it says.
- Author Interview: Real World Haskell is an interview with the three authors of this great book.
- Real World Haskell: Pre-Reading Survey — before I read the book, I did a quick survey to think about what I wanted to learn from it.
Scala is a nice looking language that lives on the JVM. I've done some interviews with Scala book authors. I think I'll be getting some additional posts here soon.:
