CS 4700: Haskell

Here are some resources for working with or learning Haskell.

Haskell Systems

You will need a Haskell compiler for this class.

• Hugs is a Haskell interpreter targeted at beginners. This is the system I recommend for class members.
• GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler) is a powerful Haskell system. It produces efficient code, but is somewhat less user-friendly than Hugs.
• EclipseFP provides an Eclipse plugin for Haskell, with support for both Hugs and GHC.

Learning Haskell

• The class Haskell tutorial is mandatory reading.
• A Gentle Introduction to Haskell
• Yet Another Haskell Tutorial

Haskell Links

• Haskell home page
• Some common Hugs error messages, and what they mean
• Haskell Reference
• Tour of the Haskell Syntax, another useful reference
• comp.lang.functional and its Google archive

Haskell Example

Here is some sample code to peruse. The program consists of three modules: Main.hs, Deck.hs, and RandomPermutation.hs.
