Plurrrr

over the past three months, I've been reading through “Haskell Programming, From First Principles” by Chris Allen and Julie Moronuki, the 4th release candidate of the 1.0 edition (1.0-rc4). I'm pleased to say that I made it to the end of this 1,857 page (by the e-reader PDF version) monstrosity. Here's some of the things that I, as a software engineer who has used Python in production and Haskell doing book exercises only, liked and didn't like about Haskell.

In this post, I will try to gather all my thoughts on the topic of automatic code formatting and why I personally don't like this approach. We will go for the most hippy tool — Black.
