I would love to use ATS, but it is not a easy language to learn and I find the error messages incredibly cryptic, and the syntax quite weird. Also, it seems to me that is pretty much a research language.

What is the best way to learn it? Could anyone shine some light?

I have some posts on ATS that might help, some for a slightly older version but the details about linear types, etc remain the same: https://bluishcoder.co.nz/tags/ats/

If you know other languages the documentation is a lot better than it used to be: http://www.ats-lang.org/Documents.html

The approach I took was treating it like an SML variant, then adding the advanced features as I went along.
