Because Haskell is not OO, it is functional, I was wondering if there is some kind of analogous "design pattern"/"template" type concept that describe commonly used functions that can be "factored out" in a general sense to provide the same kind of usefulness that Design Patterns do for OOP. Basically I'm asking if there are any kinds of "common denominator" function compositions that are used again and again to solve problems. If so, what are they called?
Not about Haskell, but Peter Norvig has a presentation about patterns in more-or-less functional languages: http://norvig.com/design-patterns/ Alistair ***************************************************************** Confidentiality Note: The information contained in this message, and any attachments, may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
