Magical Haskell (Apress)
Wednesday, 24 September 2025

In this book. subtitled "A Friendly Approach to Modern Functional Programming, Type Theory, and Artificial Intelligence", Anton Antich uses playful metaphors and examples to help teach Haskell through imagination, building on math without relying on imperative crutches or technical complexity. Readers will use math to build completely different Typed Functional patterns from the ground up and understand the link between building mathematics through yypes and constructing Haskell as a programming language. 

<ASIN:B0DQGF9SL7 >

Intended for working with various applications, especially AI-powered apps, the book gently builds up to what are normally considered complex and difficult concepts. Illustrative explanations guide the reader to tackle monads, using monad transformer stacks to structure real programs, foldable and traversable structures, as well as other Type classes.
