For anybody looking for a similar-ish syllabus with different material, Matthew Flatt's introductory programming languages course is available online at [0]. It's in Plait (formerly PLAI-Typed, a smaller dialect of Racket) and was really a great class, in my opinion. (I took this as a junior at the U.)

I’ve taken this course and it’s excellent, all three parts.

It makes me wish there were a modern standard ML, without laziness, typeclasses or Object Oriented-ness.

Not knowing any ML myself, what is it about ML that you want to retain?

Well, isn't that just Standard ML?

Well, given that OCaml almost doesn't use it's optional Object Oriented-ness, that might be what you're looking for.

Would a non-OO style of OCaml be what you want, or if not, what is it missing?

would Elm do the trick?

davidivadavid2• 8 years ago

As a (serious) hobbyist, I thought that class was fantastic.

Took this course when I started moving towards software development and I thought it was great. It has a higher academic level then most introductory courses and its been great for developing intuition about the craft

How much is it? (It seems like there is no way to see without creating an account - yuck)
