Tom Schrijvers is a professor of computer science at KU Leuven in Belgium since 2014, and previously from 2011 until 2014 at Ghent University in Belgium. He has over 20 years of research experience in programming languages and has co-authored more than 100 scientific papers. Much of his research focuses on functional programming and on the Haskell programming language in particular: he has made many contributions to the language, its ecosystem and applications, and chaired academic events like the Haskell Symposium. At the same time, he has more than a decade of teaching experience (including functional programming with Haskell) and received several teaching awards.

Summary

In this chapter, we studied how custom monads, which combine several effects, can be assembled using monad transformers. These transformers augment a monad with the specified functionality, typically of an additional effect.

Chapter 13, Domain-Specific Languages, starts the final part of this book. We will move on from studying Haskell’s hierarchy of type constructor classes and focus our attention on application-oriented aspects. The first topic, which we studied in this chapter, is a language-oriented approach to problem-solving. By creating a new language tailored to a particular problem domain, we can more easily solve problems in that domain.
