Welcome to issue 275 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the week of July 28 to August 3, 2013.
Quotes of the Week
- littlecalculist: combinatorics. n. math's way of punishing you for failing to use abstraction.
- dmwit: ?let instance Num Bool where (+) = (/=); (*) = (&&); negate = id; abs = id; signum = id; fromInteger = odd
- edwardk: clearly it should be \x -> x <$ do f . g $ x. do is a magical () killing machine
- dmwit: Type families are not injective. Your first three inscrutable error messages with type families in them will be because you don't understand this rule.
- elliott: halting problem, n. the property which makes stating anything about programs impossible, according to at least one person in any room
- carmack: Everything that is syntactically legal that the compiler will accept will eventually wind up in your codebase.
