xeus-haskell introduces a modern Jupyter kernel for Haskell built on the native xeus protocol, offering developers a performant pathway to interactive computing. The project simplifies installation with conda environments and provides an online binder for immediate experimentation.

After failed attempts in Clojure, Elixir, OCaml, Go, and Prolog, one developer discovers unexpected productivity in Haskell while building a complex DSL for musical diagrams. The experience challenges perceptions about the language's notorious learning curve.

A renewable energy engineer reveals why Haskell's rigorous type system solves critical reliability challenges in energy software that traditional OOP languages cannot. By applying principles learned in thermodynamics to functional programming, developers can build robust, verifiable systems for the green energy transition.

When brute-force persistence fails, computational precision prevails. Explore how a developer modeled a complex 5x5x5 wooden puzzle in Haskell using voxel grids, rotation matrices, and constraint-based filtering to prepare for algorithmic solving.

Discover how a programming languages exam question about termination properties inspired a full Haskell implementation of a tiny functional language interpreter. This deep dive explores parser combinator design, pattern matching mechanics, and why this deliberately limited language isn't Turing complete.

Haskell's newtype wrapper is often touted as a path to type safety, but a deep analysis reveals critical limitations compared to constructive data modeling. By examining intrinsic versus extrinsic safety through practical examples like bounded integers and non-empty lists, we expose why newtypes alone can't prevent runtime errors or abstraction leaks. This investigation challenges common misconceptions about type-driven design.
