Learn Haskell on Project Euler problems
a project by mvidner
Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.

I am a beginner: I have read 1½ books on Haskell. I want to practice.

Haskell is a purely functional, lazily evaluated, strongly typed (with inference) language.

Project Euler is a set of problems combining mathematics and programming. Of the 500 problems published so far I have solved 25. For the easy problems, advanced math is easily avoided by using advanced CPUs; but (re)learning bits of math is fun too.

  • Solve some more problems
  • Write readable code
  • Follow a style guide
  • Document the libraries (with Haddock)
  • Have tests to catch bugs in refactoring. Try:
    • Doctest
    • HUnit
    • HSpec
    • QuickCheck (which was the tipping point for me to seriously try Haskell)
  • Benchmark
  • Profile
  • Package (with Cabal)

The result will be a public Git repository with code and a diary to summarize things learned.

    Update Haskell ecosystem in Tumbleweed to GHC-9.10.x by psimons

    Description

    We are currently at GHC-9.8.x, which a bit old. So I'd like to take a shot at the latest version of the compiler, GHC-9.10.x. This is gonna be interesting because the new version requires major updates to all kinds of libraries and base packages, which typically means patching lots of packages to make them build again.

    Goals

    Have working builds of GHC-9.10.x and the required Haskell packages in 'devel:languages:haskell` so that we can compile:

    • git-annex
    • pandoc
    • xmonad
    • cabal-install
