Haskell Design Patterns

Overview of this book

Design patterns and idioms can widen our perspective by showing us where to look, what to look at, and ultimately how to see what we are looking at. At their best, patterns are a shorthand method of communicating better ways to code (writing less, more maintainable, and more efficient code) This book starts with Haskell 98 and through the lens of patterns and idioms investigates the key advances and programming styles that together make "modern Haskell". Your journey begins with the three pillars of Haskell. Then you'll experience the problem with Lazy I/O, together with a solution. You'll also trace the hierarchy formed by Functor, Applicative, Arrow, and Monad. Next you'll explore how Fold and Map are generalized by Foldable and Traversable, which in turn is unified in a broader context by functional Lenses. You'll delve more deeply into the Type system, which will prepare you for an overview of Generic programming. In conclusion you go to the edge of Haskell by investigating the Kind system and how this relates to Dependently-typed programming

Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "We refactor evalTry function by using the bind operator (>>=)"

A block of code is set as follows:

   data Choice a b = L a | R b   
     deriving (Show)

   data Combo a b = Combo a b       
     deriving (Show)

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

   data Choice a b = L a | R b   
     deriving (Show)

   data Combo a b = Combo a b       
     deriving (Show)

New terms and important words are shown in bold.
