...and finally I managed to update! This period has been really intense, so I've been away from social media in general. But yesterday I had some free time and, in addition to updating org-social.el, I started looking for information on StandardML (I have a chat friend who often works with OCaml and we were talking about it recently). So I came across this resource by young professor Brandon Wu on functional programming, and I'm sharing it with you. I haven't had a chance to look at it all yet, just the first two units, but it looks really interesting. I hope it can be useful to someone.

"I had the pleasure of serving as the summer instructor for 15-150, the introduction functional programming class for computer science students at Carnegie Mellon, in the Summer 2023 semester.

This course typically serves as the second or third course in the traditional computer science undergraduate sequence, a privilege which not many other universities get to enjoy, as functional programming is often considered a niche topic.

Despite this, I (and CMU) believe this to be of the utmost importance. A disciplined, type-oriented, safety-first view of programming can be of utmost benefit to burgeoning computer science scholars, and I have often heard feedback from students that it is has a transformative view on their perspective of computer science in general.

To that end, I have made my lecture materials from my iteration of the course available for free on the Internet. Please feel free to use this knowledge in any way that you see fit, and I hope that it aids you in your future endeavors."

and also this free book for OCaml seems interesting...

I should be studying more for university, but I'm extremely distracted, or rather, as we say in Italy, “una testina di cazzo” (a dickhead).

Ah, happy holidays to everyone!!!
