The Pragmatic Programmers

Blurb

Challenge and exercise your functional programming knowledge by tackling these 20 fun, funky, and functional puzzles on Haskell programming topics such as lazy evaluation, Haskell syntax, type classes, and the type system. Gain new insight into why Haskell is the way it is. Build mind-bending self-referential and circular data structures, unpick the seams of reality with unsafePerformIO, build enhanced DSLs with QualifiedDo, and refactor without fear of the dreaded monomorphism restriction. Review or get introduced to Haskell’s common quirks such as the unary minus and pattern guards while mastering newer language features up to GHC 9.12, including linear arrows and Or Patterns.
