## Let’s talk about artichokes
|

The _artichoke_ is mentioned as a garden plant in the 8th century BC by Homer
|
|
|
|
|
**and** Hesiod. The naturally occurring variant of the artichoke, the cardoon,

## Currying Artichokes
|

Here’s a bit of code in [Haskell](https://haskell.org), because we are fancy.
|
|
|
|
|
Remember that to compile Haskell you’ll need `ghc`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```haskell
|
|
|
|
|
module Main where
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
import Data.Function ( (&) )
|
|
|
|
|
import Data.List ( intercalculate )
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hello :: String -> String
|
|
|
|
|
hello s =
|
|
|
|
|
"Hello, " ++ s ++ "."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
main :: IO ()
|
|
|
|
|
main =
|
|
|
|
|
map hello [ "artichoke", "alcachofa" ] & intercalculate "\n" & putStrLn
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_Alcachofa_, if you were wondering, is artichoke in Spanish.
