Haskell Workshop
================
This is the BBC's Haskell Workshop group.
Installation
------------
[Download the Haskell Platform](https://www.haskell.org/platform/) or
[stack](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/)
Editors
-------
### Vim
* [Syntastic](https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic) supports Haskell syntax checking
* Minimal syntax [highlighting](https://github.com/sdiehl/haskell-vim-proto/blob/master/vim/syntax/haskell.vim)
* [Vim-one](https://github.com/rakr/vim-one/) supports lightweight syntax highlighting for Vim
* [Ale](https://github.com/w0rp/ale) Asynchronous Lint Engine. Works with numerous languages, but
doesnt play nicely with other syntax checkers (e.g. Syntastic or neomake). Ale provides real time
linting and syntax checking and can also provide autocompletion.
Prompt
------
Enter **:set prompt "ghci> "** in $HOME/.ghci for a more descriptive and permanent prompt.
Usage
-----
In your terminal you can open the interpreter with `ghci` or `stack ghci`.
To compile a program, run `ghc Filename.hs` or `stack ghc Filename.hs`. This
will create an executable in the current directory which you can run.
Core text
-----------
[Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!](http://learnyouahaskell.com/chapters)
It is recommended a chapter a week is read and exercises completed.
Exercises
---------
The exercises for the book are in the `learnYouAHaskellExercises/src`
directory.
Each file corresponds to a chapter of [LYAH](http://learnyouahaskell.com/chapters).
- C2StartingOut.hs
- C3TypesAndTypeclasses.hs
- C4SyntaxInFunctions.hs
- C5Recursion.hs
- C6HOF.hs
If you wish to do the exercises, create a folder within the root of this repo,
e.g `/exercises` and copy the contents of
`learnYouAHaskellExercises` into your weeks folder.
Once you have loaded `ghci`, you can load each module/file into the
interpreter,
```
$ cd /exercises
$ stack ghci
Prelude> :l Filename.hs
-- Now you can run the functions in that module here
```
The exercises come in various degrees of difficulty, hopefully starting
straightforward and then ramping up somewhat. If you try to run a exercises
that you have not implemented yet, it will throw an error in the interpreter
letting you know.
You can also run unit tests to check whether your implementation is correct. In
the learnYouAHaskellExercises directory, run:
```
$ cd /exercises
$ stack test
```
to run the tests.
Feel free to contribute if they are too easy, too hard, or you have any
suggestions.
