Why floating point is shit

take 50 $ zipWith id (map (\z->(^(2^z))) [1..]) (iterate (sqrt) 2)

Implicit Folds in Haskell (for those jealous of LISP)

Ever wish you could do things like (+ 3 4 5) from LISP, but in Haskell? Wish no more with the beautiful FoldyList datatype! An example instance for Show is given but feel free to write your own, otherwise the code is next to useless.

	module FoldyList where
	data FoldyList a =
	FoldyCons (FoldyHead a) (FoldyTail a)
	type FoldyHead a = (a -> a -> a)
	type FoldyTail a = [a]
	instance Show q => Show (FoldyList q) where
	show (FoldyCons x y) = show $ foldr1 x y
	flist :: FoldyList Int
	flist = FoldyCons (+) [3,4,5]
	main = print flist
