This repository is filled with articles I (quchen) have written and needed online for various reasons.
- applicative_monad.md is the original text of the 2013 Applicative-Monad proposal, which finally got things going to make Applicative a superclass of Monad.
- build.md explains how the
build
function, which is used in rewrite rules for list-based functions, works. - cont_monad.md is my shot at explaining the
Cont
Monad. - crazy_io.md shows some examples of lazy IO pitfalls in Haskell.
- fbut.md is a list of Frequently Brought Up Topics in #haskell for easy reference. It's like an FAQ, except that the "F" stands for "frequently" instead of "someone thought this may be worth mentioning".
- great_things_about_haskell.md explains what I thought was cool about Haskell some time ago. Maybe I should update it some day.
- install_haskell_platform_manually.md was once a small file for myself to walk me through setting up GHC properly in case I needed to. The revised version is this file, explaining how to get from zero to GHC and Haskell Platform.
- law-rules.md is a draft of a not-yet-proposed proposal for a GHC feature.
- lens-infix-operators.md provides an overview of what the individual symbols in infix operators of the lens library stand for.
- loeb-moeb.md is about an interesting function that calculates the result of a function when applied to the result of the function.
- modular_keyboard.md describes a keyboard I'd like to have. I encourage everyone to steal this idea so I can buy one from him.
- monad_fail.md is a proposal similar to the AMP, with the goal of removing
fail
from theMonad
typeclass. - reader_instance_derived.md shows step by step how the golfed instance of Reader (as presented in LYAH, for example) can be derived from something sensible and readable.
- useful_techniques.md shows some neat little Haskell tricks I've collected.
- write_yourself_a_brainfuck.md is a tutorial on how to write a basic Brainfuck interpreter in Haskell. It also includes enough exercises to keep readers busy.
- zero_to_local_ghc.md is the advanced version of install_haskell_platform_manually.md from above: it guides through the installation of self-compiled GHC plus standard libraries and tools from nothing.
