Mercury's engineering training team has developed 'Learn Haskell by Exercises' (LHbE), a two-week, exercise-driven program for new hires with no prior Haskell knowledge. The program focuses on active practice with daily one-on-one mentorship and layered feedback, aiming to teach core concepts up to monad transformers. It covers essential Haskell topics through hands-on exercises rather than traditional lectures or textbooks.
Background
Haskell is a purely functional programming language known for its strong type system and mathematical foundations, often used in academia and by companies requiring high-reliability software. Many tech companies implement internal training programs to onboard engineers into specialized languages or frameworks.
