Hey Oliver, thanks for sharing! I've also started getting into functional programming recently and I chose Scala as the language to learn (but same as F# this is not a pure functional language). If you choose Haskell you might want to check out: learnyouahaskell.com - this is a very good introduction of the language, starting from the very basics.
Good luck and maybe we can do some collab further down the road about our learnigns :)

Hi ! Thanks for the link 😊 I already read it, but it is definitely worth mentioning... it is really nice to grasp the "why", but definitely not the "how". It lacks a bit of hands-on material, if you ask me (once read it, you will not have a clue how to start writing a server, for instance).
