Welcome to issue 251 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the week of November 4 to 17, 2012.
Quotes of the Week
- Ralith: [why some people don't use conduits/pipes] also, I think at least some people are waiting for edwardk to write his version.
- edwardk: f -| g means that f a -> b is isomorphic to a -> g b (for arrows in the appropriate categories)
- edwardk: @type (^.) lambdabot: s -> Getting a s t a b -> a byorgey: I would not like to be getting a stab, thank you
- edwardk: I mean we're so oop even our member accessors have diagrams explaining their member accessors.
- shapr: hylo! That's the category theorist greeting.
- shachaf: type AbstractAlgebra a = Abstract a -> a
- nicoo: Yet many Writers concern themselves with issues of State, imaginary or real
- rwbarton: when you learn C, watch out for the keyword "return", it doesn't do what you'd expect
- Oleg: We show how to program with the law of excluded middle. We specifically avoid call/cc, which is overrated.
