    1. mapping object language integers to Haskell integers, and object language nega-tion to Haskell negation

      Code version of the 'mapping' referred to above. Need to gain more intuition ...

    1. stack install

      According to their latest README this only works on GHC 8.2.2 (not 8.2.1, 8.0.2). Which GHC version does this book recommend/ assume at the moment?

    1. Pagination

      Interesting exercise. Would be nice if there was a test case to thoroughly test the solution. Or is it outside the scope?

    1. In later chapters we go back to the problems of earlier chapters and try solving them with the new techniques just introduced.

      Ah, interesting. This should be fun! :-)

    2. Btw, this is done brilliantly by SICP, but unforunately, it uses Scheme, which is not typed and is mutable.

      This may be unsolicited feedback, but I enjoy rewriting sentences some times :-) I'd write it as: SICP does this brilliantly, however it uses Scheme which is dynamically typed and mutable

    3. Tweet

      Saurabh - you mean we can publish links to this book publicly? I thought you wanted to keep this link secret to withhold public criticism for a while?

    4. design of Haskell programs

      An example of this, perhaps somewhere further inside the book, (with a reference to it in the preface here) would be appreciated.

    5. Another observation

      I don't particular understand this sentence. Research-y ideas - I get, but how does this apply to gotchas and pitfalls?

    6. it was too verbose

      I totally agree as well. Even trying to skim it got to the point of being annoying. With Julie being the coauthor I figured they wrote the book for absolute beginners and not established programmers.
