Why Learn Haskell? (2018)

Type-safe GraphQL with OCaml
In July 2016, I spent some time writing a GraphQL endpoint for an existing application in Go. I chose to implement the endpoint in Go based on prior experience, good concurrency support and the desire to have static type system. The GraphQL library for Go, graphql-go , worked pretty well, and I was able to build the…

Learning Go as a Python Developer: The Good and the Bad
I've been thinking about supplementing another language to Python for some time – mainly to cope with areas Python struggles with, or is a pain to use (which I'll go over in a minute). I had used C/C++ some years ago, but don't want to go back to them. C

Easy Forth (2015)
This small ebook is here to teach you a programming language called Forth. Forth is a language unlike most others. It’s not functional or object oriented, it doesn’t have type-checking, and it basically has zero syntax. It was written in the 70s, but is still used today for certain applications .

What about K?
k is a family of concise, fast vector-oriented languages designed by Arthur Whitney . Calling k a “family” is deliberate; there is no single definitive k, but instead a sequence of slightly incompatible versions.

The Art of Lisp and Writing (2003)
Lisp is the language of loveliness. With it a great programmer can make a beautiful, operating thing, a thing organically created and formed through the interaction of a programmer/artist and a medium of expression that happens to execute on a computer.
