Kim-Ee Yeoh's personal blog at atamo.com covers programming and math. Since 2013, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 6 times, most often “How to Read "Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design"”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Kim-Ee Yeoh's blog for reading notes on Richard Bird's functional programming books, such as Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design, and for ideas on iterating toward better functional solutions.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Some good notes on this book http://www.atamo.com/blog/how-to-read-pearls-by-richard-bird... it's on my list but have somewhat procrastinated due to the perceived difficulty mentioned above.

HN discussionFor those of you who aren't familiar with the author's other works, it's worth taking a peek at his other books. I can whole heatedly recommend Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design http://www.amazon.com/Pearls-Functional-Algorithm-Design-Ric... It's a good cross between two other excellent books: - Jon Bentley's Programming Pearls http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Pearls-2nd-Jon-Bentley/dp/... and - Chris Okasaki's…

HN discussionI mentioned Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design because it exactly describes how to do this. It may not lead to a solution in the ST monad, but it does tell you to to iterate to a better solution. This post explains what I'm talking about: http://www.atamo.com/blog/how-to-read-pearls-by-richard-bird...
