If your docs PR is really good (like if you pull a @GabrielG439 on me) then I'll send you $10 or maybe even $15

There's a lot of complaints about Haskell docs going on the internet. Limited time only: Make a docs PR and I'll paypal/venmo you $5 or donate to a charity of your choice. If you're not familiar with the library, feel free to ask questions and I'll help out. RT for reach.

I'm getting questions about "what counts" It has to be a docs PR It has to represent an improvement over the original state of docs (eg no just changing things from UK to US spelling or vice versa) that's it!

I don’t know Haskell at all, but I have a week off coming soon, and I’m extremely good at learning things and teaching others. Point me at a set of “things to implement” and I’ll do it and document what I learned. But only if I get that $5x
-
Also what repo for PR? I’ve meant to learn Haskell for a day, this is the perfect excuse.
-
Your pick! These dollars are good for any documentation PR to any Haskell (or PureScript) library, app, whatever
-
Okay! I’d sincerely appreciate a “Things that are easy in Haskell that are hard in procedural languages and change your entire way of thinking for senior programmers” but I’ll find my way. Will reply by 5/31. You better have my $5.

That's a missing point in the ecosystem I think. Most of the advice you're going to hear is "forget what you know, come to Haskell as a beginner again." It may be that the "fast track to Haskell for imperative seniors" is a myth
@haskellbook is the best resource I know of -
things I find way easier in Haskell: webapps, database streaming stuff, parsers, compilers (it's amazing what problems look like compilers when compilers are easy), domain modeling, (honestly, everything, haskell has totally ruined my brain)
-
We just got asked by our recruiters to have interview questions for Haskell / OCaml primaries, so aside from the $5 (I have not forgotten), this is a perfect staycation project. And I follow DJB advice on parsing, but would love to support it. Primitive ABNF generator maybe?
-
we like parser combinators in Haskell-land: https://markkarpov.com/megaparsec/parsing-simple-imperative-language.html …

Maybe time to try and make Cardano-SL docs PR
But historically those have never been accepted -
~You've got a friend in me~
-
Well if there's any part of the code base you want me to look into, let me know. I already read a most of the code so I might as well contribute as long as you're willing to answer the occasional question
-
Honestly, up to you -- I'm mostly working with the wallet-new code, which I try to keep mostly well documented. My occasional forays into the older wallet and core code have me wanting more docs :)
-
If you want to ping me in a long-forgotten docs PR then I can try and revive it.

Immaturely, I ask if this applies to PureScript. If so, I'd like prize money for the accepted https://github.com/purescript-contrib/purescript-profunctor-lenses/pull/89 … https://github.com/purescript-contrib/purescript-profunctor-lenses/pull/88 … https://github.com/natefaubion/purescript-spork/pull/23 … https://github.com/purescript-contrib/purescript-profunctor-lenses/pull/84 … to go to Doctors Without Borders.
-
I'm really wanting to see *new* contributions, but these are excellent, so I'll allow it :)
-
Thanks. I'll do something similar for PureScript documentation tomorrow, when I have better bandwidth. It's for a good cause.

What are you talking about? Haskell-the-language i.e. the wiki? Packages on Hackage? GHC itself?
