Darcs for OS X Leopard

November 23rd 2007 Posted to Haskell, Mac, Open source, Programming, Software

I had been trying unsuccessfully for several days to install Darcs via MacPorts and Fink, but both seem to have trouble with the prerequisite GHC on OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, I did find a very nice installer package for Darcs here that worked like a charm for me.

My favorite monad tutorial

September 27th 2007 Posted to Haskell, Programming

Been reading up a bit lately on Haskell and observing that there are a ton of monad tutorials out there. I’ve looked at a few and I have to say that my current favorite is:

A Neighborhood of Infinity: You Could Have Invented Monads! 

mostly I think because it’s interactive and guides you to discover the concept instead of spoon-feeding it to you. I recommend firing up GHC and trying the exercises he gives you.
