I've mentioned this in a different comment, but I've written several articles on type inference, trying to make the topic more approachable: https://gilmi.me/blog/tags/type%20inference If you find that h

I really enjoyed the article. I think one way to simplify language creation is to use an existing language with somewhat similar operational semantics as a compilation target. This simplifies the backend a lot and leaves more time to explor

Monads are a bit like exiting vim. The complexity is exaggerated to the point of a meme, but in reality not very difficult, and they can be quite useful.

A different thing to look at is what enforcing referential transparency in your program means. Referential transparency means that when we bind an expression to a name (e.g. `y = f x`), the two are interchangeable, and whenever we use `y` w

I've written an online book with mdbook ( https://lhbg-book.link ) and it was a breeze. I believe mdbook was one of the reasons I even finished the book. 1. It's super easy to install. If you have a rust toolchain, just

If you have 24 minutes, George Wilson's talk about propagators is really interesting and demonstrates how we can find solutions to problems by looking at math. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY1BCv3xn24

I agree that there are many opinions and that Haskell people don't want to compromise on what they see is the value of the language, but I've also seen a lot of people express their desire for more adoption. For example in threads

I don't think that's correct. Especially since there's a community-led organization with the specific goal of increasing adoption https://haskell.foundation/

Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Sorry if I sounded a bit aggressive here. I think one of the cool things about Haskell is that there's quite a high ceiling in terms of solutions you can reach for. On many occasions wh

Right but the point of the book is to ease learners into the language (and teach core concepts), and not throw them into the deep end of it. Also, I'll update the text about kinds when GHC will use Type instead of * everywhere: $ ghci

When you create a project description for your project (for the package manager) you can define a library, executables and test suites. In the test suite you write your tests against the library. You can do that at any stage, even before wr
