Haskell Design Patterns

Take your Haskell and functional programming skills to the next level by exploring new idioms and design patterns

Key Features

• Explore Haskell on a higher level through idioms and patterns
• Get an in-depth look into the three strongholds of Haskell: higher-order functions, the Type system, and Lazy evaluation
• Expand your understanding of Haskell and functional programming, one line of executable code at a time

Book Description

What you will learn

• Understand the relationship between the “Gang of Four” OOP Design Patterns and Haskell.
• Try out three ways of Streaming I/O: imperative, Lazy, and Iteratee based.
• Explore the pervasive pattern of Composition: from function composition through to high-level composition with Lenses.
• Synthesize Functor, Applicative, Arrow and Monad in a single conceptual framework.
• Follow the grand arc of Fold and Map on lists all the way to their culmination in Lenses and Generic Programming.
• Get a taste of Type-level programming in Haskell and how this relates to dependently-typed programming.
• Retrace the evolution, one key language extension at a time, of the Haskell Type and Kind systems.
• Place the elements of modern Haskell in a historical framework.
