Theory in Practice
I’m starting a series of blog posts, published weekly, called “Theory in Practice.” These will take papers I read from the world of academia and attempt to reiterate them in simpler, more practical terms. One way I will do this is to take the examples, often in Haskell, and rewrite them in a more practical language, such as Scala. I’ll also add more real world applications, if needed.
Since my interests are currently in the world of programming languages and functional programming, I will start this series with a set of foundational papers in this subject area.
My goal with this series is to open the world of academic papers to a more general audience, as I’ve found that reading these papers has helped me in my day-to-day work greatly, and I hope that my blog posts will have a similar effect on others.
The first part the series will be on “The essence of functional programming” by Philip Wadler, and will be published this week.
