Hi Christopher! On my end, I make use of automated style formatters, so that this kind of thing can be kept consistent during CI. I invite you not to think too much about the micro-details of code styles, but rather find a tool that you can configure so that your style can be enforced automatically. You'll be able to spend more cycles on programme development. I can give you an example of a recent library I wrote: https://github.com/Kleidukos/effectful-contrib/blob/8ae8ad1d76e0c43610619fc0... Note that: * Type variables are made explicit, and as such I annotate even the simplest of them (with `:: Type`) * I align the separators (., => and ->) * I use stylish-haskell & hlint * If you want finer automated control, try something like Britanny.

Hi List, I'm a relatively new Haskeller. I've gotten the syntax of the language more or less down, and I'm slowly expanding my vocabulary. I've found in other languages that my coding style and how my code is organized affect both the quality of my code and how easy it is to understand.
'Coding style' refers to how code is organized within a block. For example: ``` foo bar baz bing = x + y * z ``` versus: ``` foo bar baz bing = x + y * z ```
Code organization refers both to how code is organized within a source file (i.e., how code blocks are arranged, how they're grouped, so on) and how source files themselves are organized.
I've got the first part down--I've developed a code style that I'm satisfied with, I've tried to fine-tune my style to make maximum effective use of available space (limiting myself to 72 columns, and a block size of no more than 30 lines) so as to force myself to extract and abtract away unnecessary details.
The second part is the one I'm having trouble with. There are so many ways to organize one's code that I don't even know where to begin developing a method that I like other than to ask other Haskellers how they do it and why they like doing it that way.
So there you have it: How do you organize your code, and why?
Cheers!
