Haskell Weekly News: Issue 242

Welcome to issue 242 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits
of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the
week of August 19 to 25, 2012.

Quotes of the Week

   * srhb: I think that's going into space rather than diving into the
           deep end.

   * edwardk: normally i don't bother with little things like
              "documentation", "benchmarks" and "tests", but I recently
              discovered that when I do, I get these curious things called
              "users".

   * shachaf: "Number of comonads released by edwardk will exceed the
              number of words in the English language by 2015, experts report."
