State of the Haskell Ecosystem – February 2016
The author of the book mentioned has a post called:  &quot;Why we don&#x27;t chuck readers into web apps&quot;[0] that is...not encouraging.<p>&quot;....Understanding algebraic datatypes requires understanding products and sums. Understanding products and sums requires understanding addition, multiplication, types, cardinality, type constructors, and data constructors....&quot;<p>By the time I reach cardinality I wonder if maybe the author is more interested in making things sound intimidating than helping? Or will readers be quizzed on the Continuum hypothesis?<p>&quot;Why can’t I learn Haskell the way I learned $BOZOLANG?&quot;<p>...I hope the book itself won&#x27;t take this tone. The community doesn&#x27;t need it.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitemyapp.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;2015-08-23-why-we-dont-chuck-readers-into-web-apps.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitemyapp.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;2015-08-23-why-we-dont-chuck-read...</a>
