Good Haskell source to read and learn from [closed

Question

What are some open source programs that use Haskell and can be considered to be good quality modern Haskell? The larger the code base, the better.

I want to learn from their source code. I feel I'm past the point of learning from small code examples, which are often to esoteric and small-world. I want to see how code is structured, how monads interact when you have a lot of things going on (logging, I/O, configuration, etc.).

Answer 1

Darcs is an open source, source code management system. It should give you a nice idea for Haskell.

Answer 2

What I recommend.

Read code by people from different grad schools in the 1990s

• Oxford style
• Glasgow style or (this)
• Chalmers style (or this)
• York style
• Portland style or OGI style (or this)
• Utrecht style
• Yale style
• Special case: CMU/Elliott

Read code by the old masters certain people (incomplete list)

• Marlow; Paterson; Peyton Jones; Gill; Launchbury; Hughes; Wadler; Bird; Claessen; Jones; Tolmach; Sheard; Swiestra; Augustsson; Runciman; Wallace; Thompson; Hinze; Gibbons; Leijen; Hudak; Elliott; Finne; Chakravarty; and
• Anyone who has written a functional pearl.

Note that people like me, Coutts, Mitchell, O'Sullivan, Lynagh, etc. learned our Haskell style from these guys.

Read some applications

• Read the GHC base library source
• Read the xmonad source

Answer 3

The source code to the Yesod Web Platform is fairly complex, well thought out, and well written. You will learn a lot from the persistence library that comes with it as well.

Answer 5

If you care about Web-programming I would recommend Chris Done's lpaste project.

Answer 6

GHC is probably the biggest or one of the biggest projects written in Haskell that is open source. When I say biggest, I do not just mean in terms of source size, but also impact, use, innovation, robustness. GHC can teach you a lot about writing Haskell.
