David,
Thanks! Am reading, but already want more
P.S. BTW, I have tried 'rlwrap' with Konsole and have got rather strange
behavior. Which term do you use?
----------
David and All,
If to say about "more theoretical" background, I'm trying to dig in John
Harrison's "Introduction to FP" also. Saying more common, I feel, to
understand all Scala's power I need to learn, say, Haskell. But am afraid it
is too time-costly way. Thoughts?
