Haskell: How a Lazy Language Was Put to Work (Part One)

This is the first in a series of posts that aims to contextualize Haskell's reputation. As code, Haskell makes it possible to deeply understand what effects a program will and won’t have: immutable constants replace variables; functions do nothing but produce their result. As a topic of

Seven GUIs in reflex-vty, Part 1: The Counter

7GUIs defines seven tasks that represent typical challenges in GUI programming -- 7GUIs: A GUI Programming Benchmark 7GUIS is a set of 7 typical GUI programming tasks of varying levels of complexity. We're going to implement the 7GUIs in Haskell using the reflex functional reactive programming framework. The
