"Mark Spezzano"
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?
Haskellers tend to cast their design patterns into functions and libraries. What they're supposed to be called is a zealously heated discussion, there's, for example, return == pure == point and fmap == map == (.) == liftM [1] OTOH, we're said to not care at all: | Don't underrate Haskell programmers. The ones I know have the kind of | minds where if you switched the names to pig latin, they wouldn't skip | a beat. -- [2] If you're looking for a text that could be named "The N most (use|success)ful Haskell Design Patterns", I recommend having a look at the Typeclassopedia[3]. [1]well, at least there _could_ be.
