Welcome to issue 229 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits
of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the
week of May 20 to 26, 2012.

Quotes of the Week

  * Peaker: Harrop taught me that I am a team of experts

  * applicative: Even if no one else understands me, still, the Glasgow
                 Haskell Compiler understands me

  * JoeyA: Answers in #haskell are automatically sorted by readability
           descending.

  * monochrom: monochromism is a graph morphism that maps graphs to
               1-colorable graphs :)

  * sipa: can we write a TutorialMonad t ? which is used to build and
          combine monad tutorials?
