Folks, [copied from the Caml mailing list; thanks to Pixel] I came across the PLEAC project recently. There's a Haskell section in it, and it looks like something to which people on this list would be well qualified to contribute. Olaf, John: worth a link from haskell.org? Simon http://pleac.sourceforge.net/ http://pleac.sourceforge.net/pleac-faq.html http://freshmeat.net/projects/pleac The aim of the project is to rewrite Perl CookBook's code in other programming languages, to: - provide an easy resource for quick learning of some languages field (file IOs, string manipulation, etc) - better see the differences and strengths of the languages - provide a quick reference for language comparisons - and, erhm, advocate the graphical layout of a good Emacs configuration There is a web infrastructure enabling syntaxically colorized sourcecode, and the Perl code has been imported from what's given for free at oreilly (also, the copyright stuff has been addressed with oreilly). We would very much enjoy a OCaml version, which has not yet begun for the moment. As for now, the Merd version is around 30% complete ; the Ruby version is around 25% complete ; the Haskell and Python versions are around 10% complete ; and embryonic Nasm and Masd versions are also available.
