Comparable Haskell text(s) to "ML for the Working Programmer"?
Is there a book or books that cover as much, as well as the Lawrence Paulson "ML for the Working Programmer (2nd ed)" for Haskell? What I'd like in Haskell form is pretty much exactly what Paulson covers in his brilliant book. LB
Can you enumerate which features you liked about that book, and which topics it covered? Op 6 aug. 2016 22:53 schreef "Lawrence Bottorff" <borgauf@gmail.com>:

ML for the Working Programmer is roughly equivalent of SICP but uses SML instead of Scheme. It also covers most (?) of the SML language whereas SICP is not really a book about (MIT-) Scheme. The closest Haskell equivalent might be the second edition of Graham Hutton's Programming in Haskell from what I've seen of the press release and table of contents. The first edition was very much a short and readable introduction to functional programming in Haskell (not covering all of the Haskell language). It looks the second edition takes a significantly deeper look at Haskell the language. On 6 August 2016 at 22:11, Damian <damian.only@gmail.com> wrote:
