@Felthry not really, but my partners were nice and cute and cheered me up

@Felthry good morning, felþry! how'd you sleep?

blech, this depression slump came at the worst time

@Efi oh gosh, they *still* don't take paypal???

@Felthry neat!

if you're ever interested in learning haskell, I'm always happy to help if you get stuck!

@Felthry I'd much prefer to teach people haskell! I just say lisp because I've had some really negative reactions (mostly from people who don't use haskell) when I've said "haskell is a good first language"

@Felthry the thing that makes lisp relatively easy to learn - once you understand a function, everything builds on that. Unlike a procedural language, where you have to learn instructions and loops and functions and ...

@Felthry I'm one of the weirdos who wants people to start with lisp...

I think ruby is easier to get the hang of than python, and gives you a few more options.

although tbh, I'd prefer people learnt C as a first language than Java

@Felthry I don't enjoy python at all, but I agree that it's an ok language to start with - it's what I started with, sort of

@Felthry awww *hugs if wanted* I hope your evening gets better <3
