Happy Sunday everyone. We bring you the fourth instalment for February, of our suggested ‘Sunday Reads’. You know the deal by now, we share some of our best-loved Scala, Haskell & FP learns.
Our very own Scala in the City meet up takes place this Wednesday at the Habito offices. We really hope the forecasted snow doesn’t stop anyone attending as we have some awesome talks lined up covered Haskell, Purescript, Scala & Quill. We have a few more places left so If you haven’t already please sign up to attend.

Our third read is from Li Haoyi, an Engineering Lead currently working with Scala, Python and other programming languages. This post is called Easy Parsing with Parser Combinators.
