Welcome to issue 260 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the week of February 17 to 23, 2013.
Quotes of the Week
- danharaj: zygohistobfuscatory maintainomorphism
- merijn: after a week you can delete 80% of your code and replace it with whatever edwardk wrote that day ;-)
- merijn: If Oleg is the unit of type hackery I propose Edward as the unit of haskell productivity.
- edwardk: the merijn is the unit for the number of distinct units you've named
- elliott: If you encounter an edwardk in the wild: nod reassuringly when he talks about something you understand. Under NO circumstances EVER give your GitHub account name
