In my efforts to better understand the Ur/Web standard library, I have naturally tried to relate Ur/Web to a language I'm more familiar with (Haskell). So here is a brief, incomplete and very approximate phrasebook for translating between the two:
http://www.impredicative.com/wiki/index.php/Ur_Rosetta_Stone for my own reference and for anyone else who's interested. As I wrote there, it's more to give neophytes a quick leg up on understanding what various Ur/Web functions do, than an exact translation. Because Haskell doesn't have reified record types, I've resorted to Haskell functions which operate on lists rather than records, in some cases. Feel free to add more translations, or indeed more languages, for the benefit of newcomers coming from other languages. _______________________________________________ Ur mailing list [email protected] http://www.impredicative.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ur
