A good follow-up is "The Haskell School of Expression" by Paul Hudak. Eventually, though, you're going to have to start reading research papers, which is where most of the cutting-edge stuff is. Phil Wadler's papers (available from his web site, just google it) are a good place to start, as are

[Haskell-cafe] dumb monad syntax question

2006-05-14 Thread mvanier
I've been reading Phil Wadler's monad papers from the early '90s, and it's been interesting to see how the monad concept evolved over the course of those years. But I haven't been able to track down the first use of the "do" notation for monads. Can anyone tell me where that came from? I'd ap
