I am interested in the principles of composition that underly pieces of art
in general and Haskell programs in particular.

Symphonies are composed, pictures and animations are composed, novels and
poems are composed, and a consciously composed program can be a piece of
art. The principles involved in writing programs in Haskell strike me as
quite intriguing but also quite different from the principles that underly
writing in natural language, drawing pictures, or composing symphonies. I am
interested in whether the composition principles of Haskell programs can be
reflected in pictures, music, or poems, and how the composition principles
of other art disciplines can be reflected in Haskell.
