Note that they have almost the entire runtime working, including the threading model, which allows you to fork threads, use MVars, perform STM, etc. Truly awesome and very promising.

Interesting. We tried to do the same for Haskell. The shortest we could come up with: import Unsafe.Coerce;main=unsafeCoerce()1

Looks nice, but two simple things that I noticed: - The animation is a bit slower than I would expect. - If you're dragging the button from left to right with your mouse it sticks to a side when it touches it. This prevents me from playing

I posted this before, but unfortunately, right after uploading my project page Github went down.

I think this point can not be stressed enough. Type classes have their place in day to day (Haskell) programming, but overuse quickly leads to bad abstractions that boil up from deep inside a codebase to all the way up to the public API. My

One of the interesting properties of the Invertible datatype is that it can be made an instance of the Haskell Category type class, which makes invertible functions fully composable using the (.) operator.

This technique is quite common for generic conversion from some low level serialization (like XML, JSON, binary, etc) to more high-level typed Haskell values. And this is certainly considered to be good practice. The true value comes from t

I'm no expert in this so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a blur convolution only reversible ambiguously? You still have to perform smart guesses how to undo the average, right?

Although it certainly varies from person to person, very actively making your life 'simpler' seems like a stressful thing to do. Changing my eating habits to reduce my sugar intake will definitely be more complicated than not doing so. The

When you've worked with Haskell a bit this code is actually very readable. Admittedly some experience is required. With a two named helper functions and a bit of additional alignment everyone that has ever written a parser before in Haskell

These aliases are truly useful, but watch out for mistakes. I can still vividly remember the moment I mistakenly typed in "g co src/" instead of "g ci src/". I immediately changed my checkout alias to "cho".

As a Haskell programmer I never feel the need to add any form of dynamic typing. In practice dynamic typing makes it harder to build programs, not easier. I'm the first one to admit that Haskell's type system has a somewhat steep learning c

I must say this is a very pretty render for a web-based text. Too bad the justification breaks when zooming in/out. Also, the computation takes a while. Is this a dynamic programming algorithm? Maybe browsers should support this natively.

At our startup we actually use Haskell for all our backend code and we've had a lot of package dependency problems. This was all due to people ignoring the versioning policy. A package that is a bit outdated is far less worse than a package
