The Haskell School of Music – From Signals to Symphonies (2014) [pdf]

Paul Hudak's book "The Haskell School of Expression" is probably the most beautiful programming-related book I ever read. It not only got me into Haskell (significantly altering my programming path in life), it was also such a joy to read.

There is also Extempore[0] and Overtone[1] in case anyone is interested. My favorite live-coded symphony is this[2] one.

As extra info, though the parent comment author probably already knew it, the [2] video is made by the same person that created Extempore, a Lisp dialect on top of LLVM for multimedia live code: Andrew Sorensen.

This guy is awesome.

Anyone else bothered by the font on the code example in this book? I peruse through the first 2 chapters and the font made it very hard to read through the code quickly.

I really wish the publisher would use a different font when the finished book comes out than what's shown here.
