hi,

[jacobbogers]

dou you have english translation of you fp-ts book?

[gcanti]

@jacobbogers alas, no

[jacobbogers]

i will try to translate it

[gcanti]

That would be awesome

[DrummerHead]

@gcanti Does this translation have your blessing?

https://github.com/enricopolanski/functional-programming

[gcanti]

@DrummerHead yes and no

• yes because I'm glad someone is willing to make a translation
• no because I have not read it (yet)

(anyway this repo is MIT licensed)

[DrummerHead]

Thanks for the answer @gcanti (by the way I already have this article on my todo, thanks for all the teaching material you're creating)

If you could give it a rough look to see if you think it's a proper translation, I'd start reading it. Perhaps this comment by the translator can give you more context.

Thanks!

@DrummerHead you can check the CONTRIBUTING file for my repo.

TLDR: Structure of the content is the same, laws and definitions do not change, code is Giulio's.

I added some minor changes and few lines more when I felt to add a bit of context in the semigroup sections but there are no major changes.

I plan in the future to add more content, but as noted in the contribution file, it will mostly be linked externally or as a spoiler in order to preserve the original content.

For now, you can treat the current commit as a 1 : 1.01 translation. So no, it shouldn't have @gcanti's blessing as some content differs and it is a project that I intend to move beyond a translation but, as of this commit treat it as a simple translation.

@enricopolanski @gcanti

In reference to a question about creating a GitBook of the english translation: enricopolanski/functional-programming#24

I would be interested in contributing to convert "Introduction to Functional Programming" into a proper GitBook.

GitBook has features to support internationalization.

This could also be achieved using any other documentation framework, but consolidating translations into a single repository would make it easier for translators to discover and contribute to this work.

This raises another, broader question about the organization of the fp-ts project in general which I will ask as a discussion: gcanti/fp-ts#1802

[enricopolanski]

@theurgi I have personally no interest into making it a gitbook, but since it's MIT licensed feel free to fork and do what you prefer.

I think the repo will unavoidably go through some medium size rewriting once the next fp-ts version will be released anyway.
