Programming Languages

Haskell is the epitome of many of the successes of strong type systems and some of the worst programming language decisions made.

This is an incredible breakdown of how GHC works. Absolutely worth learning if you want to learn more about the language, but I'm not sure to what degree it's worth spending time on now.

GitHub - thma/WhyHaskellMatters: In this article I try to explain why Haskell… is an overview of the language and why it matters.

Utilities

Hoogle

Search for programs using their type. This is the aspect of Haskell that's most appealing: with more information encoded into the type system - safety guarantees aside - we get far, far better program search and reuse - because our types generally express the functionality of the program! Being able to reuse code is incredibly nice for lots of reasons.

Simple Haskell

is a movement to program in only a simple, disciplined subset of the language, in order to build a robust foundation of beginner-friendly code that's easy to onboard programmers to without digging into the weeds of scary monads and typeclasses. Simple Haskell preludes exist to replace the default prelude, and the discipline usually recommends a set of language extensions to get everyone started.

Write Junior Code: A plea for Haskell developers to actually write code that people can understand and hire for. Boring Haskell Manifesto also describes this, as does Simple Haskell. It's very possible that more time has been spent pontificating about Haskell than actually writing production code in the service… My thoughts on Haskell in 2020 - Marco Sampellegrini.

Haskell mini-patterns handbook :: Kowainik: A book of Haskell design patterns. (I recall reading this on a particular lunch break out of the Skira office; the ideas sunk in at the time and could be applied to our class PL code. We should have used it).

There are many resources written with this practice in mind.
