@matrix We’re over a year and a half into this course and they think now is an acceptable time to teach us what a programming language is when we’ve been using them since day one.
You’d think this would make up like one or two slides in an introduction module, but no, it’s an entire second year module!

@VD15 @matrix I get why one would put functional programming in a course, its something that exists and could be useful one day. But if your students want to have a shot at the job market, give them something that is actually desired by employers, not some esoteric shit like Haskell.
I work for a Scala shop and finding programmers are fucking hard to find as opposed to the regular really hard. Who the fuck wants Haskell with their fake testimonials on their site and a negligible userbase?
