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.
