Erin Swenson-Healey explains how to handle synchronous and asynchronous exceptions in Haskell using the Control.Exceptions package.
While most Haskellers are comfortable working with the Prelude's Either and Maybe types - many are unaware of how to deal with thrown exceptions in the IO monad. In this talk, we'll differentiate between synchronous and asynchronous exceptions and discuss some tools for dealing with them in the Control.Exceptions package - like bracket and mask. slides: docs.google.com/presentation/...
