If you aren't planning on submitting that to those docs I will. In fact I'm sure many would find you adding examples along those lines to the most popular but math inspired Haskell libraries.

Those two books sound like an excellent strategy.

How does Haskell fare with large projects that use APIs that are inherently stateful, like OpenGL? Don't things get messy and ugly as the pure world of Haskell is being tainted? The pure world of Haskell does not get tainted. Monads he

You can probably get a Haskell job if relocating is an option. Also checkout eta since it's Haskell but interops with the JVM: https://github.com/typelead/eta You are a haskeller writing Java, I'm a haskeller

You pay the price of getting the bugs and edge cases out regardless of whether you have compile time assurances. The complexity is inherent and you can either choose to make it implicit and play the losing game of ensuring it doesn't f

If you can provide the python version, please do. This seems like it could be a useful comparison.

The type system can verify values as well, but can do so more exhaustively than you can practically test.

Sorry, I meant to say you could pretty easily make quicksort using the techniques in that link.

I think it's a few different reasons: - There is a lot about Java elsewhere - Java isn't so interesting and is probably used at a lot of HNers for work. - Java doesn't represent the future of programming to many, though it&#x

Do notation isn't cheating! For instance see these tips on writing g readable Haskell: http://www.haskellforall.com/2015/09/how-to-make-your-haskel... One of the big ones is always using do notation.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Python solution were shorter than Haskell version that doesn't use lens. If you link me the example maybe I can provide a Haskell version using lens.
