Welcome to issue 279 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the week of August 25 to September 7, 2013.
Quotes of the Week
- dmwit: I typically figure a parse error on line 500 means I have 500 lines to inspect.
- bos: bah, all you category wonks spoil the atmosphere. we were simple peasants, and proud, once.
- merijn: edwardk's delegation has reached the point where he can have the language implementor explain his libraries...
- ReinH: haasn asks an offhand question. edwardk wrote a thesis on it.
- JaffaCake: children are automatically killed if their parents die for any reason
- geekosaur: if the platform is batteries included, lens is a full fledged transformer robot included :)
- FreeFull: Mathematical laws are so much nicer than legal laws
- twey: to edwardk, v. to be working on a larger problem and absent-mindedly spin out a package to satisfy dependencies, accidentally solving the problem more elegantly than existing solutions (but perhaps incomprehensibly to anyone who can't dualize in their head)
- elliott: lens is the DLC expansion pack for Haskell
- monochrom: new catchy thing to say: an IORef Int contains an Int in the same sense as an IO Int contains an Int
