Welcome to issue 262 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the week of March 03 to 09, 2013.
Quotes of the Week
- byorgey: The box does not care whether you think it is stupid. It is box.
- ksf: duh, we can't run out of energy, as there's a fixed amount of it.
- shachaf: getLine :: IO String contains a String in the same way that /bin/ls contains a list of files
- macrover: is there a comparison between the various streams/pipes/conduits libraries?
Cale: macrover: I am presently resisting the temptation to make a table with the libraries and only one other column which is "maximum number of type parameters to a type constructor". - tac: It's actually really easy to remember all the numeric typeclasses in Haskell. Just think about what makes sense... then make sure whatever your answer is is not that
