I wonder if there are any Coding Standards or Coding Conventions for Haskell. Does anybody know something about it?
We've collected some style guides on the wiki. You could also look at projects whose code you think is in good style.
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Category:Style
GHC has a style guide. Our small little window manager, xmonad, also has a pretty strict style guide.
Pugs has a style described here:
http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/docs/Pugs/Doc/Hack/Style.pod
It recommends against punning datatypes and constructors, since we've noticed
that confuses people reading the code. It also proposes a convention
that minimizes
clashes in field names. Pugs code tends to favor declarative over
expression style
and where over let.
