Welcome to haskell-scripting’s documentation!

Haskell is becoming more and more easy in terms of a language in which you can write small programs that usually are launched from command-line and do some helpful work. Unlike regular programming techniques, scripting is focused on “getting things done” in a fastest possible way, so usage of techniques like erroring out early and using exceptions is not considered a bad style.

This repository’s goal is to become a one-stop shop serving as a cookbook on scripting in Haskell, going from most simple and easy towards more complicated and framework-heavy patterns, capturing most common data formats and libraries used in scripting (“most common” metric was chosen arbitrary). PRs and Issues proposing improvements are welcome!
