Ah, cabal handles that. kk.
Axman6 2017-01-27 22:49:46
cabal defines what you package is and how it's built. stack looks after what it's built with (compilers and libraries)
Axman6 2017-01-27 22:49:56
(toughly)

Axman6: No problem… that's actually a useful document. I should give it a read ^^.

What do I need for deriving Generic to work? {-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric #-} does not seem to be enough
athan 2017-01-27 23:13:52
reactormonk: GHC.Generics :)
athan 2017-01-27 23:13:58
to include the scope
athan 2017-01-27 23:14:12
(honestly I shouldn't have told you, I stare at this screen too much already :|)
reactormonk 2017-01-27 23:16:16
athan, works, thanks

Hm. `No instance for FromJSON Data.ByteString.ByteString` - how do I hoogle for typeclass instances?
reactormonk 2017-01-27 23:25:38
ah, there's a reason they don't exist.
reactormonk 2017-01-27 23:26:26
Any RTFM on Text vs. ByteString?
Dryvnt 2017-01-27 23:28:06
Hey. Is this a proper place for a beginner to ask questions?

reactormonk 2017-01-27 23:28:35
found one.

Hi everyone!
mannen 2017-01-27 23:37:54
what's a good book on haskell if you're just starting out, but have lots of programming experience in almost every other language (except for lisp)
mannen 2017-01-27 23:38:23
also, should I do some complementary math studies to get a better understanding of haskell, and if so, in what direction?
Cartesianfox 2017-01-27 23:41:59
Hi there :)
reactormonk 2017-01-27 23:42:10
mannen, any of them with typeclasses?
Axman6 2017-01-27 23:42:32
Dryvnt: here is also a good place too though, if you're not having luck in there
mannen 2017-01-27 23:42:36
reactormonk: what's a typeclass?
reactormonk 2017-01-27 23:42:45
good place to start :-)
mannen 2017-01-27 23:42:49
thanks :-)
reactormonk 2017-01-27 23:43:00
learn you a haskell is great
Axman6 2017-01-27 23:43:11
mannen: step 1) forget everything you know from other languages, it just gets in the way

Axman6: Mhm. haskell-beginners channel seems a bit dead. I figured it out myself, but thanks. Learning how haskell works is tuff. Been so long since that half semester where we learned about it :P
