I'm talking about poking around here randomly: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/index.html ... and trying to figure out what a given library does — not for the sake of selecting it among other options (the Platform idea), but just as part of getting a grip on Haskell's "standard library", as it were. Put another way, I'm doing the opposite of the Platform — instead of saying "I have requirement X, what library would be the best match?", I'm asking "Hmm, hello library Y, what could I use you for?" _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
