Welcome to issue 289 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bitsof information about Haskell from around the web. This issue coversfrom March 1 to 31, 2014So... where have I been?My wife and I recently welcomed into the world our new baby, and assome of you have already experienced, I was doing good getting *some*sleep at night. Life has slowly started to get back to a morepredictable rhythm, and I am sure glad to be back doing this. For awhile there I thought that any project of mine before bambina was goingto have to be put into permament hold, but things are getting verymanageble now.Sorry for the abscense! I was somewhat pleased to see that some in-cafe wondered if this was coming back... this one is for you!Some have mentioned that they wish to see more of the "reviews" thatHWN used to have of blog entries, and/or email chains in the differentmailing lists. I understand that dessire. I'm probably going to needsome extra hands to write those, if there are to be back. Maybe we canstart with something "lighter", a la tl;dr. I'm stil trying to work outhow we'd do that exacly. I'll keep you all posted.Anyway, enough rambling.Quotes of the Week* acowley: I will push machines-concurrent to hackage one fine dayedwardk: not concurrent-machines ?acowley: Man, I walked right into that bike shed* malc: I have a coworker who constantly reads haskell stuff at work,nudged him towards the lens talk, that should push him towardsactually doing work at work.* Fuuzetsu: I know someone who pulls in Lens just for & and ??* Eduard_Munteanu: Don't put your money in monads, you can never getit back. :PTop Reddit Stories* Haskell for all: Introductions to advanced Haskell topicsDomain: haskellforall.com, Score: 121, Comments: 23On Reddit: [1] http://goo.gl/M6ZL9fOriginal: [2] http://goo.gl/YEKyCc* GHC 7.8.1 RC2 releasedDomain: well-typed.com, Score: 99, Comments: 36On Reddit: [3] http://goo.gl/jxlLQlOriginal: [4] http://goo.gl/05xnqX* Book review: Parallel and Concurrent Programming in HaskellDomain: serpentine.com, Score: 87, Comments: 17On Reddit: [5] http://goo.gl/BfWSWCOriginal: [6] http://goo.gl/nDe2UG* The Haskell Cast #6 - Gabriel Gonzalez and Michael Snoyman on Pipes and ConduitDomain: haskellcast.com, Score: 83, Comments: 13On Reddit: [7] http://goo.gl/PwL2aVOriginal: [8] http://goo.gl/hwemr6* Performance in Haskell from a noob's perspectiveDomain: self.haskell, Score: 74, Comments: 111On Reddit: [9] http://goo.gl/IuT0uJOriginal: [10] http://goo.gl/IuT0uJ* New Haddock — a visual guide to changesDomain: fuuzetsu.co.uk, Score: 72, Comments: 13On Reddit: [11] http://goo.gl/KWJSEhOriginal: [12] http://goo.gl/IXzESN* Full-time position available: computer scientist to create data types for scientific computing, in Haskell.
