If you've noticed the lack of a HWN this week, that's because I've been doggedly finishing my article entitled 'The Typeclassopedia', which I have just submitted for publication in the Monad.Reader.
My hope is that this will be a valuable resource to the Haskell community, especially those who are learning. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, especially if it helps improve the article before publication.
Splendid and outstanding! I do, however, wonder about the publication format. Wouldn't a hyperlinked collection of pages be more suitable for The Typeclassopedia? I imagine something like one HTML page for each class, references as inline hyperlinks and the class diagram being the hub, with each box being a link to the corresponding page. Of course, the drawback of a more hypertext-like format would be that it can't be published in the gem that is the Monad.Reader. :( Or can it? Thanks to the Simple Permissive License under which the Monad.Reader publishes, this is not necessarily a dichotomy, though. We can always convert it to hypertext afterwards.
