Real World Haskell

Yesterday, Pat Eyler of “On Ruby” published an interview with all three RWH authors, covering a broad range of issues relating to Haskell, functional programming, communities and technology adoption. The interview received a warm response online: I like the focus on practicality. It makes Haskell’s wide adoption seem realistic. You can read the interview here. In other news, [...]

RWH now has a Twitter account where updates about the book and other not-quite-blog worthy news will appear. The authors and the broader Haskell and FP community, are also largely on Twitter, if you want to keep up to date on events in Haskell land. We’ve also had a lot of micro-reviews and news about the book [...]

Haskell all over the world: ikegami in #haskell reports that his copy of RWH arrived in Japan today (and looks to be #1 in language books on Amazon Japan at the moment). doublec sent us the following photo of RWH on his laptop, phone and incarnated, from New Zealand Jeff and Armand independently reported that RWH is making [...]

Real World Haskell now appears to be on bookstore shelves. At least, there are several copies at the local Powell’s Technical store in Portland, OR, including a stack at the front desk, interestingly. Here we are, between SoE and CoFP (the book I began my programming career with). In other news, there’s now >130 people on the [...]

Matthew Podwysocki announced today he has set up a RWH Book Club! Matthew writes: This book has lived up to its promise in helping better understand Haskell as a language, and furthermore, a deeper understanding of a pure functional language. Reading this book and hacking along with some samples has been a real joy as [...]

Andrei Formiga sent us the following photo of his copy of RWH, freshly delivered to northern Brazil. Thanks Andrei!
