Tsoding live-codes a JSON parser from scratch in Haskell using only the standard library and explaining parser combinators.
Twitch: twitch.tv/tsoding GitHub Repo: github.com/tsoding/haskell-json My Haskell Setup: youtube.com/watch?v=5p2Aq3bRuL0 Unusual video this time. This is a slightly edited recording of my Twitch stream. Initially I planned to make a regular video on this topic, but quickly realized that it's just way too much material for a single regular 10 minutes video. So I decided to make a Live Stream where I explain as much information as possible. And since the Stream turned out pretty well I'm publishing it here.Why it's here
4 people recommend thisWhat people say. Recommended as an excellent, intuitive walkthrough for learning Haskell, parser combinators, and functional programming concepts like monads.

On “Basics of Haskell – Code and exercises”
Agreed! I've been trying to learn haskell for a long time, and this guy writes a json parser live, giving his intuition along the way. It's helped me immensely. link to this video

On “List of YouTube channels for improving web development and programming skills”
I have recently discovered tsoding twitch channel( link ) which describes itself as Recreational programming. The topics range from webassembly and Game development to functional programming in haskell and ocaml. Some of the interesting random things I found there include: * a parser combinator in haskell( link to this video ) * stack based language compiler in ocaml( link ) You can find all the things that were done during the streams in link . You can also find his schedule at link

Nice to see Tsoding on the front page. He has another great video that covers a bunch of topics while making a JSON parser with only the Haskell standard library: link to this video

On “JSON Parsing from Scratch in Haskell”
There is a YouTuber called tsoding who puts up very good Haskell programming videos. He also created an almost 2 hours long YouTube video on creating a JSON parser from scratch while only using base and no other 3rd party dependencies.

Quite an instructional video describing functors, applicatives, alternatives etc.

On “thinking of learning haskell—what should i know before jumping in?”
https://haskell.mooc.fi/ can't be praised enough.
Language itself not AS hard as it sometimes presented in internet :-) All you need to know that monad is just a monoid in endofunctor category (mandatory joke, ofc).
I'm not a developer, it's sort of hobby, but i would start with something like parser / simple interpreter as example. There are some good YT videos, for example:

Haskell is general purpose language, so you can do a lot in it, and it used in production.
To me personally all monad / effects stuff was pretty painfull (but i'm old and stupid), but it clicked eventually :-)

On “How to write a parser in Haskell?”
if you're a beginner this introductory video to building a json parser by tsoading might be fun for you to follow.

I liked Tsoding's Haskell video's.
- JSON parser from scratch
- Making music from scratch
- HackerRank problems in Haskell
And if you need it, Haskell setup video

Is there good introduction to the parsec library for newbies?
I try to follow the articles on this page, and most of them are obsolete ... It seems their API has changed, and there is little documentations.
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/parsec
For example, I don't understand what `Stream s m Char` is.
```
Prelude Text.Parsec> :t char
char :: Stream s m Char => Char -> ParsecT s u m Char
```
My understanding of parsec all comes from this video, but there is a gap from here to the parsec library APIs. Is there any document/articles on this? Or maybe this library is not really used often?

On “How can I learn functional programming?”
No offense but this sounds to me like "Help, I know FP perfectly, just don't know how to use it". The only way to learn how to use some programming style is to use it. Write command line tool, write tiny web server, use some libraries. Recursion, currying and even monads are not buzzwords, these are techniques that are used to solve some problems, you need to understand problems that they solve, and know their imperative brothers(like recursion and loops, and monad is more like a bridge between functional and imperative). I still highly recommend Haskell because it won't let you fallback to imperative style that easily. OCaml is also a good choice.
Also keep in mind that there's no distinct…

On “Why is Haskell considered good for writing a Compiler/Interpreter?”
…other steps as well.
Just watch the video, it made me fall in love with parsers. And now imagine writing this in C. I don't mean you can't, but it's a low-abstraction language, which means you cannot just make a good mental model of what's going on and express this model in your language, you have to take care of a lot of low-level stuff instead

(the guy also made same thing in OCaml, which is more efficient probably)…

On “Repl based learning”
I'm not very good in examples, but lets say you have
- an initial value of type int
**acc :: Int**
- list of tuples of ints
**list :: \(Int, Int)\**
and you want to fold it but dont remember signature of function for foldr (or foldl, doen't matter for example), you can type
**fold \_step init list**
and ghc will tell you that **\_step** shoud be of type **(Int,Int) -> Int**
If you more or less familiar with Haskell i can not recommend this video enough: [video

Just as example - parser in 100 lines of code only.

I think this is a great resource to start with parser combinators

On “How has Category Theory improved your Haskell code?”
It's been more than 7 years, and so the exact video is long-forgotten, if it even still exists. However, tsoding's video on implementing a json parser in 111 lines of Haskell is a decent analogue, as he talks about parsing, but he also uses parsers to explain the functor hierarchy (functor, applicative, monad, foldable, traversable, etc). That's what hooked me - it wasn't just building an elegant parser, but a stepping stone to making other things elegant too.
