(please followup-to haskell-cafe) This slashdot story mentions Haskell being used to solve puzzles: http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/04/12/04/0116231.shtml?tid=159tid=156 I did a quick search on slashdot to discover that Haskell has been in the topic of a slashdot story 4 times in the

how I think one should program in Haskell. However I have changed it to the style I would recomment and now it runs in constant space. I'm certainly interested in general remarks about style. Consider this a my first program in Haskell, coming from object / imperative background. First of

[Haskell-cafe] Haskell IO and exceptions

2004-12-04 Thread Mark Carroll
All this talk of IO and exceptions reminds me of a small issue I've been having. I like Control.Monad.Error but often my stuff is threaded through the IO monad so, AFAICT from the functional dependency stuff, that means my errors have to be IOErrors. Is that right? And, then, I want control over

[Haskell-cafe] Propagating Parsec errors

I'll maybe perform the actual processing I need to get the job done first, and come back to the mailing list once I'll be stuck with blockwise IO :-) Arg, I tested the version with strict Stat and and no explicit IO, but it still explodes on my log file (stack space overflow after a lot of
