Hi! Reading your tutorial I wanted to leave a quick comment on HN and was worried you wouldn't see it. Nice to see you're present!
Thanks, I liked reading it a lot. It's a good refresher, since I never use haskell but have read about this a couple of times.
The tutorial appears great on mobile, so I was able to refresh my memory very quickly. However, the code boxes had a very small font. I think this could me easily fixed with fome html-fu on the meta tag or the sizing of the box/font.
I also think that it would be great it you could explain at the end what is a counterexample input for the small haskell program. For example, if the user inputs a file that doesn't exist, then the readFile returns Nothing, then putStrLn returns Nothing. There's a sentence in the conclusion that explains that monads are nice to use but not why. I understand that it deals with values inside contexes, but in practice how does it affect development?
- TheAsprngHacker 7y agoThank you for the praise. For me, the inline code has about the same font size as the surrounding text, maybe smaller, and the block code has a bigger font. Is it possible for you to send me a screenshot? I'm a little confused by your last paragraph. My last code example doesn't use readFile and putStrLn, and it isn't written in Haskell?
