A little Haskeller

Started reading Implementing functional languages: a tutorial.

I'm not much interested in writing a compiler (I wish I could, though), but this tutorial is useful for me. After all, a compiler implementation needs almost every kind of topics. And Simon Peyton Jones is a great author - you can see that from his other papers.

This book was written for Miranda, an ancestor of Haskell. That's okay, but the code in text is in Miranda while sample code seems to be in Haskell. They have many in common and I can easily guess how the description in text part should be fixed, still it's annoying.

I read this book (the dead tree version available from CafePress) while commuting on the train and unable to do exercises. Good excuse to get Nokia N810 or iRex iLiad?
