Mercury Launches Two-Week Haskell Training Program
Mercury's Engineering Training team runs a two-week, exercise-driven Haskell program called 'Learn Haskell by Exercises' (LHbE) for new backend and full-stack hires, enrolling more than 50 learners over the past six months. LHbE uses ten exercise sets completed across ten business days with daily one-on-one mentoring, a sub-10-minute placement test, and focuses on practical backend skills such as monad transformer stacks and web-backend tasks.
Key Points
- 1Implements a two-week, exercise-driven Haskell curriculum with ten exercise sets and daily mentoring
- 2Prioritizes active practice over prose to accelerate practical skill acquisition and reduce passive re-reading
- 3Enables rapid onboard readiness: engineers can handle backend tasks and monad transformer stacks quickly
Scoring Rationale
Practical, actionable two-week curriculum increases training applicability; limited novelty and company-specific scope reduce broader industry impact.
