Welcome to issue 252 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the week of November 18 to 24, 2012.
Quotes of the Week
- rwbarton: edwardk now has Lens under Control
- atriq: My son looks a bit like me, he can put away the plates after dinner now thanks to edwardk!
- mgsloan: Lens got 99 operators, but a (|>) ain't one.
- hiptobecubic: I feel like this program is just a bunch of glue and duct tape holding a bottle of nitroglycerine off of the ground.
- xplat: Some software is worth trying; most is just plain trying.
- edwardk: Control.Lens is my secret ploy to get everyone to give up on Haskell and just move on to Agda as they find the Haskell types too complicated by comparison.
- rwbarton: alpha reduction is what happens when you let edwardk maintain your module
- edwardk: er that was a tongue sticking out, not an operator suggestion
