In my mind ghc extensions are one of the biggest barrier to entry for learning haskell. Tutorials typically mention them a bit at the end but they have a huge impact on the language and are used by most libraries.
- js8 3y agoI think Stephen Diehl's What I wish I knew about Haskell is an excellent overview. (Although no longer maintained, I wish he continued with Haskell and drop his worries about crypto.) Personally, I use ClassyPrelude and only a handful of extensions.
- whateveracct 3y agoI see this comment a lot, but I don't understand why. I dove into Haskell and I didn't need to thoroughly understand each extension to be productive. Even the ones I turned on because a library asked me to.
