Is this project dead? :( about write-you-a-haskell HOT 12 OPEN

Agreed! If time and money is sparse, I'd not be opposed to starting some sort of crowd funding. Really would love to have this book completed!

Just adding my voice to the choir! This is such a gem, and it is quite sad it is in this unfinished state. As far as I understood, Stephen got a job and for obvious reasons has much less time to work on this.

That said, I wonder if there is something the Haskell community could help to further the progress on this - even just a little at a time would be beneficial I think.

I don't know if Diehl himself has any thoughts on this, would be interesting to hear it :)

Hey, no commits for two years now, very interested to hear on any updates to this/possibilities for furthering it, whether by Diehl himself or by the community, would be willing to put money toward it or even contribute what little I could to it

@srid There are two good lists of foundational papers for implementing a Haskell compiler:

Meanwhile, as a momentary alternative to finishing the book, what if we put together a series of papers, tutorials, books acting as a "progression" towards understanding the theoretical basis of Haskell?

+1 for crowd funding, would chip in if someone organizes. Quite a unique book as far as I can tell, no alternatives!

+1 I'd also love to donate money for the project if it keeps it moving.

+1 I would back this project.

+1, I would back as well. I can help with setting up the crowdfunding as well.
