Re: On Haskell and Freedom

very close to unsubscribing from the Haskell list because it looked an awful lot like it was turning into an FSF soapbox. -- Michael T.

RE: Haskell Wish list: library documentation

Re: Haskell Wish list: library documentation

OK, I've got the books.

Many thanks (re: book recommendations)

may also order the Bird book since it seems to cover a few subjects which really baffle me (monads in particular). -- Michael T. Richter<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>http://www.igs.net/~mtr/ PGP Key: http://www.igs.net/~mtr/pgp-key.html PGP Fingerprint: 40D1 33E0 F70B 6BB5 8353 4669 B4C

Need information (preferably in book form).

anybody recommend such a book to me? -- Michael T. Richter<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>http://www.igs.net/~mtr/ PGP Key: http://www.igs.net/~mtr/pgp-key.html PGP Fingerprint: 40D1 33E0 F70B 6BB5 8353 4669 B4CC DD09 04ED 4FE8
