If you’re coming from a language like C, Haskell can take some getting used to. It’s typical for a new language to feel a little different, but in Haskell the differences are more dramatic, and more fundamental. In particular… Where are the for loops? In most imperative languages, for loops are all over the place, […]
In the few years since Ruby Koans first came out, the approach has been mimicked in a wide variety of programming languages. Work on Haskell Koans was started in January 2012 by Román González and Tatsuhiro Ujihisa. The premise is simple: A koan is a small snippet of almost-correct code, given for “meditation”. Each koan […]

I’m delighted and proud to announce that I’m joining FP Complete temporarily to help launch a new and exciting technical project. I’ve long been a cheerleader from the sidelines, but now — seeing the full extent of CEO Aaron Contorer’s vision — I’m a true believer. The time is right for Haskell to change the world […]
I have become a personal investor in FP Complete. Why have I done that? In the Haskell community our current model is based on open-source volunteers. Together we have achieved some pretty remarkable things. I’m biased about GHC, of course, but Cabal and the extraordinary flowering of libraries on Hackage are even more impressive. People […]
