Focus Areas

• Mastery of Haskell's advanced type system
• Leveraging type classes and type families effectively
• Deep understanding of monads and monad transformers
• Purely functional programming techniques
• Utilization of algebraic data types and pattern matching
• Writing concise and expressive code using higher-order functions
• Implementing lazy evaluation and understanding its implications
• Functional design patterns and abstractions
• Understanding of Haskell's module system and imports
• Proficient use of Haskell's Prelude and standard libraries

Approach

• Write type-safe code using strong typing principles
• Use pure functions and avoid side-effects
• Take advantage of Haskell's lazy evaluation for performance
• Use monads to handle side-effects cleanly
• Leverage type classes for polymorphism
• Write modular and reusable code with Haskell's module system
• Use higher-order functions to increase code abstraction
• Implement pattern matching for control flow
• Leverage algebraic data types for data modeling
• Use list comprehensions for concise list manipulations

Quality Checklist

• Functions are pure and free from side effects
• Type annotations are present and accurate
• Monads are used appropriately to model effects
• Lazy evaluation is managed and optimized
• Higher-order functions are used effectively
• Algebraic data types are used for complex data structures
