Hello fellow FP-Lemmyites. I'd love to hear stories about what got you interested in FP originally, and how you learned.

@cercerilla I got my first taste of programming at uni, by doing some scientific computing and then taking a couple CS electives. One day not long after that, while was wikiwandering through articles on programming languages, the notion of functional programming caught my eye. I played a bit with the interpreter at tryhaskell.org, and soon enough was working my way through the Haskell Wikibook, amazed at the clarity of expression afforded by language and paradigm. Having fun with FP ever since :)
