Production Haskell Book Club Meeting
Details
Helsinki Haskell Users Book Club returns!
After our practice heavy and more to the ground book club featuring Sockets and Pipes, this time we are tackling Production Haskell by Matt Parsons! The book is an opinionated tour guide to how to bring Haskell to the industry and have it be approved by management, as well as what tradeoffs are needed to be considered when moving from the hobbyist space to industry production, team management and all such things.
In the author's words: "Ultimately, this is a book about the social reality of software engineering in niche languages." All this is based on seven years of experience in the industry.
In the second take of our fifth meeting (this one), we continue with chapter III with focus on sections 12 and 13, The Trouble With Typed Errors and Exceptions respectively. The discussion will be rather freeform and not limited to just this section of the book, though it is likely to gravitate towards it.
