Welcome to issue 232 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the week of June 10 to 16, 2012.
Quotes of the Week
- irene-knapp: ewtoombs: the universe is already an interactive quantum physics simulator
- Philipp: "While in Python every problem can be solved with a big enough Hashtable, in Haskell, every problem can be solved with an additional type parameter."
- kulin: man, i am loving this existential quantification, i feel like now i will use it incorrectly to solve every problem for sure
- mekeor: xmonad is awesome (ignore the ambiguity, please)
