The Monad.Reader

The Monad.Reader is a electronic magazine about all things Haskell. It is less formal than journal, but somehow more enduring than a wiki-page. There have been a wide variety of articles: exciting code fragments, intriguing puzzles, book reviews, tutorials, and even half-baked research ideas.

Submission Details

Get in touch with me if you intend to submit something — the sooner you let me know what you’re up to, the better.

Please submit articles for the next issue to me by e-mail (ezyang@mit.edu).

Articles should be written according to the guidelines available from

http://themonadreader.wordpress.com/contributing/

Please submit your article in PDF, together with any source files you used. The sources will be released together with the magazine under a BSD license.

If you would like to submit an article, but have trouble with LaTeX please let me know and we’ll work something out.

Issue 19 consists of the following three articles:

• Mighttpd – a High Performance Web Server in Haskell by Kazu Yamamoto
• High Performance Haskell with MPI by Bernie Pope and Dmitry Astapov
• Coroutine Pipelines by Mario Blažević

Feel free to browse the source files. You can check out the entire repository using darcs:

Questions That May Be Asked Frequently (QTMBAF)

Q. Are you serious?
A. Absolutely.

Q. The deadline is only four weeks away! It will take me at least five weeks to write my incredible masterpiece!
A. Are you serious?

Q. Will you take every submission or will there be some sort of selection process?
A. I hope to publish every submission, although not without going through a process of editing and suggested revisions. Ultimately, it depends on the number of submissions.

Q. Can I submit the same poem multiple times to increase my chances?
A. I have written a sophisticated, 5000-line Haskell program to detect this and alter your submission in a subtle yet highly embarrassing (for you) way.

Q. Seriously, this is a dumb idea.
A. Please try to phrase your question in the form of a question.

Q. Seriously, is this a dumb idea?
A. No, I’m pretty sure it is awesome.

If submitting in LaTeX is a hardship, text submissions will be accepted. Submissions in Microsoft Word format will be deleted and then overwritten fifty times with random bits.
