Not a blog

Stuff I've written down while transitioning between static site generators. If you have any corrections or suggestions, please reach out using the issue tracker, or message me on Twitter/Reddit (same username).

  1. ad-hoc-polymorphism.rst - An informal and incomplete survey of the design space for ad-hoc polymorphism in a programming language.
  2. opinionated-haskell-guide-2019.md - A guide for Haskell beginners in mid 2019. TL:DR; Prefer simple and well-documented options over exciting things. Ask for help when stuck.
  3. pl-and-physics-jargon.md - A small post describing how the jargon used for name binding in programming languages is somewhat similar to the jargon used in some parts of physics. Don't take it too seriously.

Haskell guide suggestions

Hello, I enjoyed your "Opinionated Haskell Guide 2019" and wanted to make a couple of suggestions. I don't have a reddit account, so thought I'd post them here (if you're gonna use github as a blog, I'm gonna use issues as comments ;) )

Hoogle

Since you suggest installing Hoogle as a search provider, I thought I'd mention that DuckDuckGo will redirect to hoogle.haskell.org if the query includes !hoogle. Many people (including me) have DuckDuckGo as their default search engine, so it's handy that it has a few Haskell-specific features

Partial Functions

I agree about trying to avoid them. You suggest using comments to explain why (we think) errors won't happen. I would also suggest that partial functions should always prefer calling error rather than using undefined or leaving cases unhandled. This way we can at least write an informative message (possibly containing argument values, etc.). Much better to see a custom message like Couldn't foo 7 because it is odd rather than the less-helpful Exception: Prelude.undefined or Non-exhaustive patterns in function foo.
