Programming things I wish I knew about:

Christopher Allan Webber at

  • More datastructures
  • Especially more functional datastructures
  • Deeper understanding of monads
  • The propagator model
  • More on operating system theory
  • Deeper understanding of crypto math
  • More about compilers
  • The propagator model
  • Neural networks and other machine learning techniques (related to the above)
  • Would be great to try my hand at implementing capabilities
  • More on the bottomless well of type theory
  • Haskell and the ability to overcome my difficulty reading that syntax (and kind of related syntaxes, like ML)
  • Theorem proving. Start The Little Prover!
  • Logic programming. Finish The Reasoned Schemer!

I'm sure there's things missing from that list that follow the "gee, I wish I knew more about these things" pattern.

Update: And now, things I've recently learned

Also, this list includes most, if not all, of the things I want to study in college. +1, really.

I'm taking a class in Haskell right now. The most confusing thing so far: functions in Haskell can't actually take multiple arguments, they just act like they do.
