Javascript to Elm

After we've spent a comical amount of time getting a Linux environment setup it's time to actually try to get Haskell running on aws lambda.

We started with an idea to use Haskell on AWS Lambda so we didn't have to deal with OS setup, config, update, and headache. By the end we found ourshelves partitioning our local drive to dual boot it into Linux, running `sudo apt update` a dozen or so times. How did things go so wrong?

It's the year of the blog. And Linux on the desktop. lol. We talk about some of the more simple pleasures of building a website for personal blogging, getting into the CSS and actual HTML tags, not just generated webpack bundles. And yeah, at certain times we get old timey for RSS readers and irc.

We are trucking right along on our Haskell mini-series, doing every exercise on every page. When we aren't knocking that out, we are trying to get 20 conference rejections for the year of 2019. So let's check in and see how it's coming along.

We are getting to apply all that theory we went over into command line examples, building on what we've learned brick by brick. It's getting pretty exciting to actually understand most of what's going on!

We have made it to the beginning! With a solid understanding, or at least a better understanding we are ready to tackle I/O, aka side effects!

We layout our themes for the upcoming year, not to be confused with resolutions or goals, these are a bit different than you might be used to.

We've tackled Semigroups, and with a little more effort we can better understand Monoids too. With all this momentum we'll cover parameterized types and the Maybe type too.

Sticking with Types, we dive deeper with sum and product types, we hit on Semigroup and start to unwind Monoids!

Things are starting to click into place slowly. I am feeling more confident in reading and thinking type signatures and composability functions. Best of all, I am really enjoying it.
