I have been wanting to learn Haskell for some time. Is Real World Haskell still the best book for the language? Could you point me to some well written libraries/projects that are considered idiomatic haskell? Would appreciate the pointers.
- papsosouid 14y agoI would definitely start with learn you a haskell. It makes a much better introduction to the language than RWH. RWH is great when you have learned the basics and want to start tackling bigger problems. Xmonad is a pretty common recommendation for looking at "good haskell code", in particular the overall design and how they keep the IO part minimized and isolated so the bulk of the application is easier to unit test. I think the standard libraries the come with GHC are good examples too.
- gtani 14y agoThere's lots of books: Hutton, Hudak, Thompson, Richard Bird. I have a ugly draft/link dump for learning http://isthishaskell.blogspot.com/2013/02/tips-on-learning.html http://isthishaskell.blogspot.com/2013/02/tips-on-learning.h...
