Finished reading
- Finished Category Theory for Programmers by Bartosz Milewski. Had to work through it twice, taking notes on the second pass. I wish I started taking notes from the get go.
- Wine Simple by Aldo Sohm, wine fundamentals for beginners.
- Some CS papers:
- Do Be Do Be Do by Sam Lindley et al. The paper defines a language called Frank that uses a novel algebraic effects based typed effect system instead of monads. Also has types for suspended calculations (think Haskell thunks). Similar to Koka I believe.
- Cons should not eval its arguments, a classic that paves the way for lazily evaluated languages.
- Japanese short stories (Yomu Yomu app) such as 人間椅子 (Human chair), a story about a carpenter that decides to live inside a chair that he’s made. Adapted to a vocabulary of 1500 words.
Started reading
