Hello, In terms of "to become a great programmer, you need to read great programs"[1] what are "great" programs written in Haskell (for your personal definition of great), which source code is freely available on hackage or somewhere else on the net? I'm personally also interested in your definitions of great; for me, a great programs is defined by one of * good and well-written documentation (literate Haskell helps a lot) * novel ideas to use functional programming * elegance * showing how functional programming can ease tasks that are difficult to achieve in an imperative style Maybe we should create a Page on haskell.org (which I would do if I had write-access) mirroring the pages [2,3]?

Hello,

what are "great" programs written in Haskell (for your personal definition of great), which source code is freely available on hackage or somewhere else on the net?
I am not sure this is what you are looking for, but http://math.andrej.com/2007/09/28/seemingly-impossible-functional-programs/ contains some of the most ingenious code I have ever seen. Mind, it takes a lot of energy to read. Luke
I'm personally also interested in your definitions of great; for me, a great programs is defined by one of
* good and well-written documentation (literate Haskell helps a lot) * novel ideas to use functional programming * elegance * showing how functional programming can ease tasks that are difficult to achieve in an imperative style
Maybe we should create a Page on haskell.org (which I would do if I had write-access) mirroring the pages [2,3]?
Kind regards, Michael

It's been reported that xmonad is a good read. Notably, it uses a nested zipper to statically avoid out-of-index errors in the core data structures. Parts of the core have been modelled in Coq too, which is unusual. -- Don

IMO, xmonad is also an example of a great extension API (just look at the number of third-party contribs) -- Roman I. Cheplyaka :: http://ro-che.info/ "Don't let school get in the way of your education." - Mark Twain

The functional pearls are pretty much specifically designed to do all the things you mention. See http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Research_papers/Functional_pearls
I'd suggest the Prelude and Data.List The code is very clear and thoroughly documented. Knowing what is there will pay off again and again. - Jason On Nov 30, 2009, at 5:22 AM, Michael Lesniak wrote:
