Welcome to issue 257 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the week of January 27 to February 02, 2013.
Quotes of the Week * shachaf: Everyone forgets about Agda Lovelace, the first constructivist. * applicative: I have my new ghc and am reinstalling my feeble world * wuttf: My world is starting to feel like isToyLanguage x = x /= Haskell * PenguinOfDoom: Being enlightened gentlemen, we split all programming languages into two groups, sucks and doesn't-suck and put all of them into the first group. * Taneb: lens has got to be the only library with more contributors than people who know how it works * shachaf: I like to put all my application's modules under GHC.* That's because I use the GHC API, and I want them not to conflict.
