The process of writing large parallel programs is complicated by the need to specify both the parallel behaviour of the program and the algorithm that is to be used to compute its result.
What should you learn first, Lisp or Haskell? It depends entirely on your personality. One thing is certain - if you want to be a great developer eventually you'll have to learn both.
citeproc-hs is a library for automatically formatting bibliographic reference citations into a variety of styles using a macro language called Citation Style Language (CSL).
One of the pleasant new features in GHC 6.10 is the long-awaited addition of view patterns. This feature is usually advertised as making it possible to pattern match against the values of an abstract type. An essential aspect of modular software design is that we don't want to expose the implementation of complex code. Someone will surely come along and start making decisions based on bits of our code that they can see, thus limiting our future room to manoeuvre. This is all amply explained on the view pattern wiki page and in the GHC User's Guide. how do they diff from f# active pats
