Haskell Code Coverage tool available

 Andy Gill posted a description of HPC on his blog. I certainly look forward to trying this out. More and more we are seeing these kinds of enterprise development innovations in modern functional languages.

“HPC can be used to render the generated code coverage information into human understandable format. A number of packages on hackage are starting to use it.”

O’Reilly book attempts to put Haskell skills in the real world

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.
