The illustration on our cover is of a Hercules beetle. These beetles are among the largest in the world. They are also, in proportion to their size, the strongest animals on Earth, able to lift up to 850 times their own weight. Needless to say, we like the association with a creature that has such a high power-to-weight ratio.

This easy-to-use, freely available online, fast-moving tutorial introduces you to functional programmingwith Haskell. Learn how to use Haskell in a variety of practical ways, whetherit's for short, script-like programs or large and demanding applications.Written for experienced programmers, Real World Haskell takes you through thebasics of functional programming at a brisk pace, and helps you increase yourunderstanding of Haskell in real-world issues like I/O, performance, dealingwith data, concurrency, and more as you move through each chapter.
You'll find plenty of hands-on exercises, along with examples of real Haskellprograms that you can modify, compile, and run. If you've never used afunctional language before, and want to understand why Haskell is now cominginto its own as a practical language in so many major organizations, Real WorldHaskell is the place to start.
A couple months ago at last I decided to learn Haskell. It's quite a cool language, but I'm puzzled about how an event driven real app would be programmed in such a language. Do you know of a good tutorial about it?
Note: When I say "real app" I'm not talking of a real world, production ready app. I just mean a little sample app, just to get the grasp of it. I think something like a simplified version of the windows caculator would be great, and then perhaps something a bit more complex.
A lot of times (I'm not saying that this is the case in your question, but it is a recurring pattern) when someone says "but can Haskell be used in the real world", what they are really saying is "I know how to do this in C, and in Haskell I cannot do it in exactly the same way, therefore it must be impossible in Haskell, therefore Haskell is not ready for the real world". But what they are missing out on, is that there might be a totally different and much better way to solve the problem. (It's like saying "Erlang doesn't have threads, therefore it cannot possibly be used to implement concurrent systems.") And FRP is just one example.
you should check out Real World Haskell. The book is freely available and shows how Haskell can be applied to real world problems. I wouldn't call it a tutorial, tho, as it is much more comprehensive.
Beta Books: What do I get? Haskell is a pure functional programming language with a rich ecosystemof tools and libraries. Designed to push the boundaries of programming,it offers unparalleled power for building reliable and maintainablesystems. But to unleash that power, you need a guide. Effective Haskellis that guide. Written by an engineer who understands how to applyHaskell to the real world and uses it daily to get practical work done,it is your ticket to Haskell mastery.
Gain deep understanding of how Haskell deals with IO and the outsideworld by writing a complete Haskell application that does severaldifferent kinds of IO. Reinforce your learnings with practice exercisesin every chapter.

In order to use Haskell locally, we have to install it first. I will not go into the details of that now. Just follow the links on the resources page. There are plenty of competing installation instructions out there in the world. I do not particularly care which one you follow, but make sure you get GHC-7.10.3.
We will work with String for now, but just for reference: There are two String-like data types out there that you would reach out to in real code: Text and ByteString. The former handles Unicode text, and should be used for, well text. The latter handles packed arrays of bytes, and should be used for binary data. Mixing up strings and binary data is another major cause of bugs in any programming languge, and again the distinction here helps.

It is clear that The Three wanted to bring this phenomenal langauge tomainstream industry in order to save themselves (and the rest of the world) fromthe toil of working with non-functional programming languages.
The Semantic project is concerned with parsing, analyzing (evaluating), and comparing source code and as such we are firmly rooted in the academic domain of programming language theory (PLT) and spend significant time applying existing research to the real world problem of analyzing source code on GitHub. Haskell is well suited to this domain. Its language features allow concise, correct, and elegant expression of the data structures and algorithms we work with. (Source)
At the same time, new programming languages like Rust and TypeScript have taken the world of general software development by storm. They incorporate a lot of what is good about Haskell (and FP in general) while also focusing on great developer experience and being more approachable.
John Goerzen is an American hacker and author. He has written a number of real-world Haskell libraries and applications, including the HDBC database interface, the ConfigFile configuration file interface, a podcast downloader, and various other libraries relating to networks, parsing, logging, and POSIX code. John has been a developer for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system project for over 10 years and maintains numerous Haskell libraries and code for Debian. He also served as President of Software in the Public Interest, Inc., the legal parent organization of Debian. John lives in rural Kansas with his wife and son, where he enjoys photography and geocaching.
Don Stewart is an Australian hacker based in Portland, Oregon. Don has been involved in a diverse range of Haskell projects, including practical libraries, such as Data.ByteString and Data.Binary, as well as applying the Haskell philosophy to real-world applications including compilers, linkers, text editors, network servers, and systems software. His recent work has focused on optimizing Haskell for high-performance scenarios, using techniques from term rewriting.
No real surprises here. We create the heap object, push the address of the newly created heap object onto the stack, and call want_Int_info. The same happens when we call want_Double, except of course that we need to create a larger heap object (12 bytes rather than 8).
with two arguments is thought of as a function of a single argument of type Int#, which returns a new function, that takes an argument of type Double# and returns an Int#. The compiler does not implement that literally, however, as that would be much too slow. Instead, a function such as want_ID## really does take two arguments, both of which are on the stack (or in registers on architectures where that is possible); want_ID## gets compiled to
This is really no different from supplying just one argument; we still have to deal with the same set of possibilities; the only difference is that we now need a payload for two pointers. This is created by stg_ap_pp_fast:
For now, if this really matters it is faster to use a single Proxy# argument, and make sure that it is the last argument so that we can take advantage of the specialized stg_ap functions which were introduced for the IO monad:
MonadReader will help with that. We can just put all the Tvars and othervalues in one place and make it accessible everywhere in the workingthreads. This is a very common pattern in real-word Haskell applications.But here we have our problem: async is hard-coded to work only with IOmonad, and yet we want to work ReaderT Params IO. The solution is to usethe lifted-asyncpackage.
Concurrent programming feels just a little bit more imperative than the restof Haskell, because you compose actions that actually mutate something, evenif atomically. Still, it's much easier to get right than in traditionalimperative languages, because it's easier to divide workload between threadsand compose STM actions. As always, thinking about and working withlimitations the real world imposes on us is the most difficult andinteresting part of the work. 2ff7e9595c
