Annotation

Haskell is a purely functional programming language. Its study invites to exploring the connections between various areas of computer science, logic, and linguistics. Haskell is also a modern means for describing the solutions of general problems in a precise, yet concise and comrehensible way.

The lecture will be devoted to the characteristic features of the language, and we will meet them applied in the context of domain-specific languages. In the seminar, students will discuss their understanding of selected research papers.
