HC1-1. Haskell Chapter 1 Practical Tasks |
Haskell is a functional programming language known for its emphasis on pure functions and explicit effects, ensuring code clarity and maintainability. It encourages function composition, allowing developers to build complex operations by combining simpler functions. The Haskell type system is strong and static, providing robust type safety, while laziness (lazy evaluation) ensures computations are performed only when necessary. The language follows a clear and concise syntax, with proper indenting and commenting playing a key role in readability. Developers define and use functions efficiently, leveraging Haskells powerful abstractions. To work with Haskell, essential tools include GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler), GHCi (interactive environment), Cabal (package manager), and Stack (build tool), which simplify development and project management |
