Quotes of the Week

  • teamonkey: the Haskell solutions that people are posting are generally so much more concise and elegant than for any other language
  • Dan Zwell: I am fairly new to Haskell, and I didn't realize how easy concurrent code is until I wrote this
  • anonymous: The Haskall (sic) language is often uses by very intelligent programmers, it often allows to use lazy computations and iterations, but it has the advantage that its iterators behave better (than in Python), and during the generation of some items you can, when you want, refer and use the items already generated.
  • Corun: I don't understand, what's the advantage of hugs? The uni here says to use hugs, though, but I kept finding myself going in to ghci to get a useful error message
  • They say that if it compiles, it will run correctly. It?s nearly true! I?m amazed. ... Such buglessness will remove a huge source of indeterminism in production environments where the work of many teams is co-ordinated by schedules.
  • dolio: I've made a domain specific notation for describing puddings.
  • cschneid: [Haskell] changed the way I look at decomposition of problems in the more corporate languages (Java and C#). I use far fewer variables, and more side-effect free methods. It's made my code clearer, and easier to test.
  • nicodemus: I've written some Erlang and much more Haskell. My take so far is that Erlang is good for teaching you how to fish, Haskell is good for teaching you about procuring food (including fish).
  • paulzork: Haskell is to functional programming like C is to imperative languages? Sort of the latin root?

Quotes of the Week

  • Erik Engbrecht: The key to language success is making it powerful enough for a couple cowboys to do the work of an entire team in a shorter period of time. Selling fast and cheap is easy. If you have enough fast and cheap, the business people won't care if you are making it out of bubble-gum and duct-tape, because you are giving them what they want.
  • pozorvlak: I'm going to make what should be an uncontroversial statement: if you don't understand and use monads, you are at best a quarter of a Haskell programmer. A corollary of this is that, since using monad transformers is the only (or at least the approved) way to use two or more monads together, if you don't understand and use monad transformers you are at best half a Haskell programmer.
  • mrevelle: As Lisp to lists and Smalltalk to objects: Haskell to computation
  • Paul: I would use Haskell to build a product or service, and I mean that in the sense that I can see how to train a team and build processes (prototyping, implementation, quality, deployment, support) around Haskell.
  • Yegge: Haskell, OCaml and their ilk are part of a 45-year-old static-typing movement within academia to try to force people to model everything.

Blog noise

Haskell news from the blogosphere.

Quotes of the Week

  • Peter: I hardly know Haskell, but I can already write some code much faster and easier than I could do in C/C++ (and I've been programming 2 decades in that language)
  • Miguel Mitrofanov: Since NaN /= NaN, I think, we should decipher 'NaN' as 'Not a NaN'
  • Achim Schneider: The essence of non-strictness, though, is another kind of story. Like a golem plowing half of the country until you remember that you placed him a bit absent-mindedly into your backyard and said 'plow', that still won't plow mountains. The essence of strictness is easy, though: get stuck on a stone, fall over and continue moving until you break.
  • monochrom: OCaml tells you 'map f xs is bad because it takes O(n) space'. Haskell tells you 'map f xs' is good because it takes O(1) space
  • ddarius: It says *right on the box* that it it's intended for *both* research and applications.
  • Clifford Beshers: Why Haskell? Medical researchers announced today that MRI studies reveal that the structure of the human brain is significantly different in adolescence than adulthood.
  • Larry O'Brien: I really had a hard time refactoring my Ruby into a packrat parser. This was due, in no small part, because of the difficulty in understanding the types being built-up in the data structure. The paper, in explicitly-typed Haskell: clear as a bell. My code's behavior on unit tests: virtually indistinguishable from random.
  • SuperGrade: Haskell kind of herds you into functional programming. There are advantages to this manner of coding, and I'm getting to thinking you should attempt code this way almost all of the time, regardless of language.
  • Berlin Brown: Haskell is readable, fast, and expressive. I like it.
  • Yaakov Nemoy: Changing the type of a function in Python will lead to strange runtime errors that take some work to debug, whereas, when I tinker with a program in Haskell, I already know it will work once it compiles.
  • Michael Reid: Learning Haskell has completely reversed my feeling that static typing is an old outdated idea. The power of Haskell's type system makes it feel like you are programming in a dynamic language to some degree, yet all of it is type-checked, and that is just *really* cool.
  • weavejester: I've come across many parser generators that are a dream to work with in comparison to lex and yacc. The best one I've found so far is Haskell's Parsec.
  • David Roundy: What's the good of having a haskell-programming computational linguist on board if we can't get static compile-time guarantees of grammatical correctness?
  • Bulat Ziganshin: When FP just pass all the functions and data required for specialization of generic algorithm, OOP provides interfaces, virtual functions, anonymous classes, delegates and lots of other interesting ways to hide the fact of lack of first-class functions :)
  • [Douglas] Adams: was interested in computing --- I think his reaction to being told about functional programming was to wonder what non-functional programming might be.
  • ezekiel: I find Haskell to be like Lisp and APL and Python all put together in a way that leads me quickly to a solid result. Other languages work, but the road to the result is bumpier.
  • AlanYx: I've found that Haskell's uber-strong, static type system does help me be productive, because it increases the class of bugs that can be found at compile time, forces thinking at a higher level, and can help avoid edits to existing code breaking things elsewhere in the code
  • anonymous: Closures in today's world are a 'language geek' feature. Unless done extremely carefully and in a way that supports the various skill levels of developers, they end up being unusable and unsupportable by anything less than computer language savants. In their inherent obscurity and complexity, 'language geek' style closures are about as anti-Java as you can get.
  • anonymous: I work in a Smalltalk shop, where we extend and maintain an application that has been around over a decade. During the maintenance part of our job, it would be really nice to have type declarations on variables. For maintenance, the more dependable information we have, the better! The fewer things that can escape as runtime exceptions, the better!
  • consultant barbie: Languages are hard. Let's write web frameworks and go shopping!

Haskell Weekly News: January 05, 2008

Submitted by dons on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 10:53pm.
::

Welcome to issue 68 of HWN, a newsletter covering developments in the Haskell community.

This HWN features new releases of the GHC and nhc98 Haskell compilers, a pre-release of darcs 2.0, several new user groups formed, and of course, more than 100 updated and new libraries

Announcements

GHC 6.8.2. The GHC Team announced the release of GHC 6.8.2, featuring optimisation improvements, improvements to ghci and fixes to standalone deriving.

nhc98 1.2 released. Malcolm Wallace announced the release of nhc98 1.2. 1.20 is a refreshed release with many of the current core library packages included, and a variety of small bugfixes since the last release. It successfully compiles and runs more programs from the nobench suite than jhc, hbc, Hugs, or yhc. It generates an interpreted bytecode that, on the whole runs faster than that generated by Hugs or yhc, and in many cases is also faster than ghci. Although nhc98 is written in Haskell, you don't need an existing Haskell compiler on your platform to build nhc98 - a C compiler will do. Hence, it is portable to almost any unix-like machine with a 32-bit compatibility mode. Many useful build tools come included: hmake (the inspiration for ghc --make), hi (interactive read-eval-print, like Hugs or ghci), cpphs (Haskell-aware replacement for cpp) and hsc2hs (preprocessor for FFI code)

darcs 2.0.0pre2. David Roundy announced the availability of the second prerelease of darcs two, darcs 2.0.0pre2. This release fixes several severe performance bugs that were present in the first prerelease. These issues were identified and fixed thanks to the helpful testing of Simon Marlow and Peter Rockai. We also added support for compilation under ghc 6.4, so even more users should be able to test this release.

The Monad.Reader Issue 9: SoC special. Wouter Swierstra announced a new issue of The Monad.Reader, a 'Summer of Code Special' - it consists of three articles from student participants of Google's Summer of Code, describing the projects they worked on.

What's happening with Haskell? The 13th HCAR. Andres Loeh announced the 13th edition of the Haskell Communities and Activities Report

Teach yourself gtk2hs in 21 hours. Hans van Thiel announced a Gtk2Hs basics tutorial, based on the Tony Gale and Ian Main GTK+2.0 tutorial, is now available for review and comment.

Minimalistic Haskell blog framework. Paul Brown announced a lightweight, experimental blog publishing application, perpubplat

atom. Tom Hawkins announced the release of atom 2007.12; atom is a domain-specific language embedded in Haskell for describing real-time control applications
