The documentation is amazing. One problem I find with rendered literate haskell is that it because quickly unclear how the indentation across blocks of code fits together. It would be nice if there was some kind of renderer that kept the in

Hi, I'm the author of this post. I found it hard to get good information about this topic in Haskell compared to other languages, so I'm hoping this post will help people get started if they are in a similar situation to where I w

This is what I thought when I first saw the parent comment. It looks like an interesting alternative approach, but from the example I am not clear on why it is more flexible than the version using typeclasses. I reckon I will need to re-imp

Have you tried the FP Haskell Center IDE[1]? It's completely web based, and should make it very easy to set up projects, bring in stable libraries and do builds. I would imagine this would be very useful for beginners. There's mor

Someone mentioned that in a comment on the blog post itself too. It definitely looks like a good pattern to adopt here.

We currently do not have plans to release this code, mainly because it is very specific to our system. Having said that we are working on another large Haskell project, and we do have plans to open source a central component of it.

I don't deny that the test could be written in much the same way in Ruby too, the key point of the post was that in Haskell you get flexibility comparable to a highly dynamic language, while also getting a lot safety guarantees. As for

Interesting. I think I will have to play around this before I get my head around it, but thanks for the suggestion.

By "combining" I just meant an operator that takes multiple functions and returns a new function based on those arguments. I guess these "functions" are a special case because they are constant monadic functions. Do you

Author here. Thanks for the feedback! I agree that the do notation does look nice. The on thing that I like about the >> operator is that it's clear that you are performing a combining two functions. But to be honest I don't

In my experience this is a terrible metric. The demographics that McDonalds is marketed in different countries varies enormously. I find in Western countries it is seen as unglamorous, cheap and quick food. Whereas when I was in India, for

That would have made this article so much more useful to me. Without screenshots it was difficult to see why I might want one of these plugins. It would also have been nice to have some written motivation for using them, as well as a desc

I hear this very often, but the difference with me is that I don't feel very confident in any language. I have a mediocre experience in 4 or 5, but I don't know any one language in serious depth. You might argue that this doesn&#x
