When I was first learning Haskell, through Real World Haskell and LYAH, I was very frustrated that they never seemed to actually give definitions for anything, but instead just vaguely implied definitions by listing examples. What finally worked well for me was using the Haskell Report 2010 as a reference, and looking things up there every time I got frustrated by the lack of a solid, detailed definition.
- pklausler 10y agoThe Haskell Reports, especially the 2010 edition, have been clear, readable, and straightforward documents whose contributors and editors should be commended. If only other language standards were so clear! (C'89 and Fortran are also really excellent documents.)
