This is great, thanks.

You're speaking of "GHC haskell" there. Yes that is the main stream - and this will get solved there sooner or later - but you can also do a fair amount of Haskell without GHC. Eg MicroHs is getting increasingly capable and I

https://plaintextaccounting.org/Investing-and-trading summarises the current options, and https://joyful.com/hledger+lot+tracking has design notes, some of them recent.

You said book, but I wouldn't rule out the docs on hledger.org (and perhaps plaintextaccounting.org); of which https://hledger.org/hledger-by-example.html is book-ish, and https://hledger.org/accounting
