Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell in 3 Slides

3-4 slides imply 3-4 topics, so the question is what are the 3-4 biggest topics in haskell? I would think they would be:
* Purity/Referential Transparency * Lazy Evaluation * Strong Typing + Type Classes * Monads
If the goal is to be able to talk about different examples of Haskell code in the rest of the presentation, the big topic I'd choose would be called »How function definitions look like in Haskell«. Kalman

My bet : - type system without the type classes but with comparision with usual (c++) type systems. - function definitions, with a hint at pattern matching - lazyness. (see the searching a maybe list on the begineer list, it is a very good example). - advanced topic : monads, type classes, etc -> just to say they are here and describe what they allow (state, exception), etc.

That would be (or lead directly to) referential transparency. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
