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.

Looking for hackers with the skills:
