> Other languages I’ve used have some agreed upon practices that almost everybody using them follow. I wonder if Haskell has the same. There are a lot of best practices for writing Haskell, but many of them aren’t specific to Haskell (like “give sensible names to variables” and/or are so widespread in Haskell that you don’t really notice them (like “try to keep your functions pure”) While Haskell’s best practices may be much broader than those of other languages, they nonetheless do exist.
