I thought I'd post this convenience function, since I didn't see an obvious one in base:

Code:
import Prelude hiding (catch)
import Control.Exception
import System.IO.Error hiding (catch)

readl f = catch (getLine >>= return . Just)
                (\e -> if (isEOFErrorType . ioeGetErrorType) e
                         then return Nothing
                         else ioError e)
          >>= \a -> case a of

Quick and dirty plotting with Haskell + Gnuplot

Assuming you are a Haskeller, you can get a simply x-y plot up very quickly with the gnuplot interface module. This is useful for getting a rough graphical view of some function. Simply...

1. install Gnuplot (through your package manager)
2. cabal install gnuplot
3. use ghci:

Code:
$ ghci
GHCi, version 7.4.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ...

Haskell solves the problem of unexpected IO side effects

Programmers are universally familiar with the challenges of dealing with unwanted side effects in IO operations. Few are aware, however, that the Haskell programming language provides a very straightforward approach to dealing with this problem, packaged in a convenient module:

The solution involves making available a full existential state as a retrievable value. This value...

Haskell shell scripting!

Posted 10-25-2012 at 11:19 AM by hydraMax (Bits and Pixels)

Practical shell scripting AND full-fledged Haskell functional programming at the same time!? Is it really possible to have your cake and eat it too!? I'm sweating with excitement at my recent discovery.

Not only is it possible, but there is a well-developed module that allows you to do shell like programming with Haskell, without losing any of the benefits of the language:

Too cool: Haskell Source Analysis

Posted 09-21-2012 at 08:46 PM by hydraMax (Bits and Pixels)
Updated 09-21-2012 at 08:54 PM by hydraMax

I tried out Haskell's SourceGraph program on the project I'm currently working on. It produces tons of cool dependency / analysis graphs. I saved a summary graph in SVG format at the following location:

https://frigidcode.com/ftprepo/edge/...aph-0.1.15.svg

Warning: It is only 374K in size, but it is over 22,000 pixels wide at the default size!

The project in its present form uses an event-based model with an oop-like component structure....
