Welcome to issue 242 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits
of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the
week of August 19 to 25, 2012.
Quotes of the Week
* srhb: I think that's going into space rather than diving into the
deep end.
* edwardk: normally i don't bother with little things like
"documentation", "benchmarks" and "tests", but I recently
discovered that when I do, I get these curious things called
"users".
* shachaf: "Number of comonads released by edwardk will exceed the
number of words in the English language by 2015, experts report."
