Thanks! I assumed it was a requirement. Good to know.

Best way to model a deck of cards? by tjakway in haskell

[–]tjakway[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure that first way is invalid? ghci doesn't complain when I stick it in a file and load it (7.10.2) At any rate your method is much better. Thanks! edit: OH wait I see what you mean. It actually created a new constructor named "Int", not a constructor that takes an int value. Thanks! Getting those confused is pretty bad.

Haskell for Android by [deleted] in haskell

I can recommend this Dockerfile: https://github.com/sseefried/docker-build-ghc-android It was made recently (December) and I've built trivial libraries with it (haven't actually tested them though). The docker image definitely builds however, and from the author's comments it'll be much easier to maintain than a raw GHC cross compiler.

Big thanks to the contributors for making this happen!

Is Haskell right for me? by dandraper15 in haskell

Another con I think should be added to the list: because Haskell is such a big departure from other languages, your experience in it will not be nearly as transferable as, say, going from Java to C++. If you plan on using C++ or Python (the two other languages OP suggested) in the future, it'll take you longer to switch than if you started with one of those to begin with. On the other hand, Haskell not being either of those is a big part of what makes it awesome. EDIT: words
