I have a trip coming up and might have some reading time. I was hoping to get through some of the classics, bananas and lenses, the essence, etc. So I have a few questions: Bananas and lenses et. al. uses some notation that I don't understand right out of the gate. Is there a good primer on whatever that brand of double bars and arrows means? The essense of functional programming looks good, I could understand it when I skimmed it but can I print it out on US letter? The PDF at citeseer was aligned badly. (Essece seemed like a fabulous intro or chapter 2 on getting used to monads. Better than most stuff on the web. Funny that...) I'm also interested in FRP as it might relate to web programming. Anyone have a recommendation? -- Darrin
