With these functions visualized, one could make a kind of "drag and drop" interface for Haskell programming, although that isn't really my intention. I admit this is a little convoluted even for the purpose of visualization, but at least it's a starting place. Does anyone know of another system or better representation?
Sure, google for visual programming languages - some examples: - there was a "Visual Haskell", before the Visual Studio plugin http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~johnr/papers/ - dissect a mockingbird http://users.bigpond.net.au/d.keenan/Lambda/ - vpl bibliography http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~burnett/vpl.html
@ It seems that we are getting pretty close to the point that youtube is getting to be a better reference than a paper, at least for practitioners. A lot of talks are on youtube :)
You could always post a screencast of yourself reading a paper!-) Claus
