Part of the issue is that the Haskell libraries are so different in many ways that there's a (relatively) large amount of background required to be able to understand how things normally fit together. One of the best resources I've seen for this is Brent Yorgey's article "The Typeclassopedia." How we get from particular bits of design in random libraries back to an understanding of why they were designed that way that would be informed by something like the above, I'm not sure. Including a design document with libraries that explains how and why they were designed that way might be a big help. cjs -- Curt Sampson <c...@starling-software.com> +81 90 7737 2974 Functional programming in all senses of the word: http://www.starling-software.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
