Welcome to issue 316 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers from January 18 to 31, 2015
After doing more than 150 of these, I have come to the conclusion that it is time for me to take a permanent break from HWN. I realize that "we could do better", and have something a bit more edited than a collection of links, and some quotes. I wish I had more time to devote to such endeavor, but my time is currently being taken up by trying to help my 1 year old explore her little world.
If you'd like to be the one to continue the long tradition of HWN, drop me a line.
Thanks for following along for the last 3 years!

- hiptobecubic: benzrf, well sure. I'm not suggesting that lens has actually left any operators available for anything
