Assessing Haskell (blogpost, slightly negative!)

• containers

  11 313 6.2 Haskell

  Assorted concrete container types (by haskell)

  

Calling linked lists Haskell's "primary data structure" seems off-base to me. Yes, there's String, yes, there's built-in syntax for List... but there's also everything in containers, and vector is pretty easy to use in practice, though it would probably be good for more learning material to mention it more prominently.

• relude

  5 687 6.0 Haskell

  🌀 Safe, performant, user-friendly and lightweight Haskell standard library

  

Another good practice to prevent runtime exceptions is to avoid partial functions like head and tail. One way to ensure that one doesn't accidentally slip in is to use an alternative prelude (e.g. relude) that doesn't export them by default. Another alternative is to use hlint to warn about them (and then import their safe counterparts instead).
