A few days ago, I thought “haha, haskle, that sounds like wordle, but for haskell”.

Fast forward two days, and I’m releasing haskle. It’s a small wordle-like game, where the goal is to guess a function from prelude given its (obfuscated) type. The type elements are gradually revealed as you try names. It’s really fun for functions with descriptive types (eg 🤷 🤷 => 🤷 🤷 => (🤷 ->🤷 🤷) -> 🤷 🤷 -> 🤷(🤷 🤷)), not so much when you’re in Floating land. Still, I’ve learned about a lot of numeric functions that I had never used until now.

It’s built with elm, as I wanted something refreshing after having used purescript extensively at $PREVIOUS_JOB. Elm is fun, albeit a bit frustrating at times when you’re used to haskell and purescript, but it has be quite enjoyable overall.
