The purpose is to refresh my functional programming skills and to learn something new too. Since I already knew a little Haskell, I could not help myself, and I also implemented the same exercises in Haskell.</p> <p>As you will see, SML and Haskell are very similar (at least when it comes to the basics). However, the syntax of Haskell is a bit more "advanced". Haskell utilizes fewer keywords (e.g. no val, end, fun, fn ...). Haskell also allows to write down the function types explicitly. What I have been missing in SML so far is the so-called pattern guards. Although this is a very superficial comparison for now, so far, I like Haskell more than SML. Nevertheless, I thought it would be fun to demonstrate a few simple functions of both languages to show off the similarities. </p> <p>Haskell is also a "pure functional" programming language, whereas SML also makes explicit use of imperative concepts. I am by far not a specialist in either of these languages, but here are a few functions implemented in both SML and Haskell:</p> @@ -150,7 +150,7 @@ my_filter f l = foldr (make_filter_fn f) [] l <p class="footer"> Generated with <a href="https://codeberg.org/foozone/gemtexter">Gemtexter</a> | served by <a href="https://www.OpenBSD.org">OpenBSD</a>/<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.8">httpd(8)</a> | -<a href="https://www2.foo.zone/site-mirrors.html">Site Mirrors</a> +<a href="https://www2.buetow.org/site-mirrors.html">Site Mirrors</a> </p> </body> </html> |
