Soar with Haskell

Preface

This book provides an introduction to functional programming in Haskell:

• Functional Programming (FP) is one of the main programming paradigms, along with imperative programming and object-oriented programming. It uses functions as its core concept of computation – turning input into output in a predictable and context-independent way.While many non-FP languages also offer functions in some form, in FP, language functions truly have first-class status. They are not only computation but also data, which can be ferried around by other (higher-order) functions, dynamically assembled out of simpler functions, stored in data structures, or data containers themselves.
• Haskell stands out among FP languages in that it unequivocally embraces ...
