I have experience coming the other way (Haskell to ATS2), and I think it works well enough - I did pick up some C/low-level programming along the way, and the mailing list has expertise in both areas and can help you.
I suspect it will work the same going to other way, though I have a hunch ATS makes more sense to C programmers than ML programmers :) On 2/4/19 9:10 AM, Mustapha Rashiduddin wrote: > noob question: > > Does that mean if you know C you'll be able to learn ATS3 (relatively) > comfortably without knowing sml or some other ml variant? > > On Sunday, January 13, 2019 at 7:04:24 PM UTC, gmhwxi wrote: > > > Thanks a lot for your long and continual interest in ATS :) > > I would like to wait a bit until I can get ATS3 to the point where > I have > a clear idea as to what it is really like.
