I've been waiting to pay for this until I can find reviews of it. Given the recent completion of Chapter 200(!) I was hoping to hear if HN had any early thoughts.

It's really an amazing book. I am not overreacting here. Explaining how Types work to non-programmers is really challenging but the author, with an enjoyable story pace and nice examples, he manage to do that with great success.

Yeap because I really love your work. This book should be the foundation for people that want to dive into typed-programming.

I love this book. It’s beautiful. It reads like Kurt Vonnegut talking about thought and thinking, and you can’t help but learn programming, almost coincidentally as Haskell.

I like it so much that I’ve given it as a gift to multiple people.

Thank you!

Love the book pace, seems perfectly suitable for newcomers and super entertaining for experienced programmers, the subtext is amazing :D
