Background For just over a year, I’ve been running the JTime project, which consists of a REST API, an Android app and a website, the latter two of which talk to the REST API. The JTime project allows me to see nearby prayer times. I don’t advertise it, as it is more of an educational project to try new technologies, and I just don’t want to be promoting it in case people think I’m clever for having made it (I don’t like showing off, and generally the people around me are non-programmers).

Over the past few months, I have been learning haskell. It is truly an amazing language, unlike the heavyweight languages (Java, Python, C#), with a lot of innovative features in it. This is probably due to it being originally (although it still is) a research language, though it does seem very capable for use in production. Here are a few of my thoughts about it so far. GHC, the standard compiler/interpreter, is awesome.
