Hello Cafe,
I will be (re)presenting Haskell in a "Batlle Language" event Wednesday evening: A fun and interactive contest where various programming language champions try to attract as much followers as possible in 5 minutes.
Having successfully experimented the power of live coding in a recent Haskell introduction for the Paris Scala User Group, I would like to do the same but given the time frame I need a simpler example than the music synthesizer program.
So I would like to tap in the collective wisdom looking for some concise, eye-opening, mind-shaking and if possible fun example of what one can achieve in Haskell. Things that sprung to my mind are rather dull: prime factors, fibonacci numbers.
A morse code decoder, perhaps? http://apfelmus.nfshost.com/articles/fun-with-morse-code.html Best regards, Heinrich Apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
