Introductory Haskell

This is some supporting code for a talk I gave called "Haskell through Clojure-tinted Glasses" at the TriClojure meetup group.

You can load (for example) Main.hs into ghci to play around with it.

    ghci Main.hs

If you want to try out Copy.hs, you can either compile it with

    ghc --make Main.hs

or open it with ghci and set your arguments

    ghci Copy.hs
    Main> :set args file1 file2
    Main> main

To try out QuickCheck.hs

    ghci QuickCheck.hs
    Main> quickCheck prop_minimum
    Main> quickCheck prop_ordered

Also, some good material online. If you are interested in seeing how pervasive laziness in a language can be used in awesome ways, check out "Why Functional Programming Matters"
