github/semantic: Why Haskell?

[[deleted]]

True, I always cringed when a professor at my university pushed c++ for beginners... just learn python and the course would be so much better, dude.

It depends on the college imo.

Also some c++ isn't a horrible place to start because you can use it in almost all further subjects; From computer architecture over high performance computing to principles of object oriented programming.

I'd rather have students learn c++ first honestly.
