haskell-handbook VS learn-you-a-haskell

All together that was a thoughtful and fair write up, thanks for that! I think you are spot on regarding monad transformers. Testing story is very good, the only part that I found harder then I would like it to be is testing IO code - there are some solutions that help but still, it is a bit surprisingly complex. And Template Haskell - it is not as hard as it sounds! Can be quite powerful without super deep knowledge. Btw here is short "cheat sheet" for Template Haskell that I wrote as notes for myself and others in the company: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/template-haskell.md .

haskell-handbook

I am trying to do something similar with https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook, but much less ambitious - it is mostly there for me and my colleagues, not as a general guide, and is for intermediate level, not beginners, also has no order, just topics. But what I do is create issues with quick drafts and then fill them in when I have time and others can also add to it.

Wrote some popular tutorials on Haskell concepts, like https://wasp-lang.dev/blog/2021/09/01/haskell-forall-tutorial, and also are maintaining haskell handbook (still in infancy): https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook .

I actually wrote a short text about how functions behave as Functor, Applicative or Monad: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/function-as-functor-applicative-monad.md .

Recently I realized I have no idea how should I define version bounds for my library and I got pretty confused before I finally figured out the reasoning behind it (thanks to r/haskell and Adam Bergmark from Stackage), so I thought I would capture that reasoning in a short article: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/dependencies-version-bounds.md .

As a result I decided to write a small article that gives overview of Cabal and Stack are and also compares them, based on what I learned: https://github.com/wasp-lang/haskell-handbook/blob/master/cabal-and-stack.md .

The LYAH is by far my favorite book for beginners, however, it lacks exercises for you to practice, but you can still move along typing and playing with the examples shown, and it’s free to read online. It’s outdated but most of the code may still be valid with little to no changes.

Learn You a Haskell For Great Good! is also a really good resource:

If you've never done functional, Learn You Some Erlang For Great Good was a very fun read, and I'll always love Learn You a Haskell for Great Good for showing me everything imperative languages kinda gloss over magically, as well as why I should never take a job working in Haskell!

you start that way, but don't do http://learnyouahaskell.com really?

Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!

I enjoyed http://learnyouahaskell.com/ which is available in print and digital. Fun and lighthearted while still teaching reasonable depth. YMMV.

Elm is a statically typed language inspired by Haskell. The natural step would be to use Elm on the frontend and Haskell on the backend. And that's what I tried to do. I read with some difficulty the Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! book (available for free here) and learned a lot of cool stuff. But creating a complete backend using Haskell proved to be more than I could chew. So I decided to look for alternatives...

Here y’go!
