On a similar note, the incredible book How to Design Programs is also based on Racket. Some people find HtDP to be a more modern and approachable version of SICP.
The MOOC Introduction to Systematic Program Design is based on this book.

For people wanting to learn Haskell i can recommend the book Haskell Programming From First Principles. Its quite expensive ($60) and still in early access, but its up to ~1000 pages already. Its pretty much the only book thats up to date and explains Haskell from the basis. Its goal is to explain Haskell in such a way that you can learn and understand any Haskell library thats out there, instead of teaching you say web dev with a framework or whatever. A sample can be found here.

Oooh, I hope it stays that cheap until I get money. I only know C, Java, Python and some Haskell, but Haskell has pretty much become my favorite language. It makes so much sense to me.

It just got another update, up to 1156 pages now so even more direct value for your :10bux:

If people are looking for some lunchtime videos to watch, both Erlang Solutions 2016 and Lambda Days 2016 recently took place and videos of the various talks have been posted on the Erlang Solutions youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ErlangSolutions/videos.

And there was also a virtual F# conference whose videos can also be watched now: https://channel9.msdn.com/events/FSharp-Events/fsharpConf-2016

You could always install a linux virtual machine and develop haskell on that. :v:

Do this + Stack + Atom with a few Haskell plugins (ide-haskell, haskell-ghc-mod, hlint).

A new Haskell MOOC starts in about 2,5 weeks time: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/functional-programming-haskell. It seems quite basic but hey, at least its teaching Haskell instead of yet another Python one.

so what is good way to do front-end web dev if you don't like JavaScript (besides not doing it at all :v: )? Purescript? Typescript? Some ocaml-to-js thing? React? Clojurescript?

Any R gurus around these parts?

I would try the Scientific/Math(s) Computing: numerical/statistical analysis tools and CASs thread over at Ask / Tell › Science, Academics and Languages.
