Personal blog · softwaresimply.blogspot.comprogrammingweb
Software Simply is a personal blog at softwaresimply.blogspot.com about programming and web. Since 2009, 8 different Hacker News readers have linked it 24 times, most often “How to Get a Haskell Job”. The last post was in 2021, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Software Simply for Haskell material: web framework comparisons, a Haskell spelling corrector, and monads, plus an Ember.js post about a problem the author identified.
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.
software development, functional programming, haskell, etc

I was writing a reply to this, but it got long enough that I decided to make it a standalone blog post. http://softwaresimply.blogspot.com/2016/12/on-haskell-docume...

A relatively complete listing of resources comparing the three major framework/libraries.

HN discussionexample: nWords = liftM (train . lowerWords . B.unpack) (B.readFile "big.txt") There was recently a very good article[0] about practically using monads that mentioned using liftM. However whenever using a functor instance is possible it's probably better, since functors can't do as much as monads. I'm not quite sure how much this would help/apply to this small example though. 0: http://softwaresimply.blogspot.com/20…

HN discussionI discussed this issue at http://softwaresimply.blogspot.com/2008/03/to-template-or-no... . It seems like people tend to prefer templates, however I'm not yet convinced. I think there are good arguments for language-generated code, especially with a language that is powerful enough. HSP in Haskell provides some interesting possibilities here ( http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~d00nibro/hsp/thesis.pdf ). Text.XHtml is anoth…
