Welcome to issue 218 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits
of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the
week of March 11 to 17, 2012.

Quotes of the Week

   * cmccann: * cmccann needs to hurry up and get his stream processing
     library finished before all the possible synonyms for "thing that
     other things flow through" are taken
 
  * shergill: silver bullets don't respect eta equivalency. it needs to
     be made of silver, and not simply *act* like one :P
