Hi,
I stumbled across Haskell while researching 'functional programming'. I have done some initial reading and have the following questions:
1. Are there any references to real-world applications using this language?
I ask because most of the articles I have found seem to be of an extreme academic nature. I want to be sure that my time will not be wasted delving deeper.
Here's a few real world apps written in Haskell: darcs Frag XMonad pugs (perl 6 interpretter) ghc and many more If you want to learn about writing real world programs, try the new book – Real World Haskell.
2. Are there any tutorials with full code included which I can use on the HUGS system I have installed?
I have found a few "A Gentle Introduction to Haskell 98" which assumes far too much previous knowledge to be immediately useful to me.
The learning haskell page on the wiki has a *lot* of references to lots of different tutorials and books. Bob
