The power of types compels you
Personal blog · paczesiowa.blogspot.comprogramming
The power of types compels you is a personal blog at paczesiowa.blogspot.com about programming. Since 2010, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 3 times. The last post was in 2011, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog's post on writing a generalised zipWithN in Haskell, which is hard because of the type system. The only comment cites it as a reference for that point.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
Haskell actually goes all the way up to zip7. A generalised zipn function is quite complicated to write in Haskell, due to the type system. Here's a blog post about it: http://paczesiowa.blogspot.com/2010/03/generalized-zipwithn....
