This was an interesting read. Does anyone else have any data structure creations in functional languages they've designed and want to share?

Last year I started reading a book called Purely Functional Data Structures. It’s a fascinating book and if you’ve ever wondered how Clojure’s persistent data structures work, it’s mandatory reading.

However, all code samples in the book are written in ML - with Haskell versions in the end of the book. This means I got stuck in Chapter 3, where the ML snippets start.

I had no clue about Haskell’s - much less ML’s! - syntax and I was finding it very difficult to follow along. What I did notice is that their syntaxes are not so different from each other.

So I put the book down and read Lear You a Haskell For Great Good! with the hopes that learning more about haskell’s syntax - in particular, learning how to read its type signatures - would help me get going with Puretly Functional Data Structures.

Also interesting and related is http://www.youtube.c...h?v=pNhBQJN44YQ from Clojure Conj 2011. I enjoyed this talk. Note that the Daniel is a Scala programmer and thus the examples are Scala.
