Welcome to issue 313 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers from November 16 to December 6, 2014 Quotes of the Week * Dijkstra: How do we convince people that in programming simplicity and clarity (in short: what mathematicians call "elegance") are not a dispensable luxury, but a crucial matter that decides between success and failure? * Dijkstra: Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better. * monochrom: those who have learned from history are bound to helplessly watch other people repeat it.
