O’Reilly book attempts to put Haskell skills in the real world
Posted by Chance Coble on August 31, 2007
If you haven’t heard of it, Haskell is a pure functional language. Haskell really holds my interest. This is largely because it has a rich history in proving that functional programming is feasible (this argument has been raging for about thirty years … and functional programming has undoubtedly proven useful).
Because of its purity, it has been known to come with a steep learning curve. However, O’Reilly has a forthcoming book on Haskell in the “real world” which includes sections on multithreading, database and network programming as well as gui programming. Sounds like a great read … although I am not sure what “world” I was programming in when I was using Haskell.
