Peter is a professor at the University of Freiburg, and he was doing functional programming right when Haskell got started. So naturally we asked him about the early days of Haskell, and how from the start Peter pushed the envelope on what you could do with the type system and specifically with the…

In this episode, we focus on a particular part of Haskell: teaching it. To help us, we are joined by Jamie Willis who is a Teaching Fellow at Imperial College London. The episode explores the benefits of live coding, and why Haskell is the best language for teaching programming.
