HPR3508: Differences between C# and Haskell

This episode covers some of the differences between C# and Haskell. I'm probably going to omit lot of things accidentally.

• Origin: practical language for solving real world problems vs. programming language research
• Main paradigm: object oriented vs purely functional
• Changing data: mutability vs. immutability
• Data structures: inheritance vs. composition
• Execution model: strict vs. nonstrict
• Side effects: anywhere vs. specifically marked areas in the code

Thanks for listening, if you have any questions or comments, you can reach me via email or in fediverse, where I'm Tuula@tech.lgbt. Or even better, you could record your own hacker public radio episode.
