Effective Haskell: Chapter 8 errata and suggestions

Effective Haskell Chapter 8

  • getTerminalSize (Epub p 243) used pure in the case statement and return in the definition of tputScreenDimensions. I don’t think pure has been mentioned before and I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to mix pure and return in one function
  • runHCat (Pub 248) uses Text.hGetContents but this should be TextIO.hGetContents (that was the qualified import earlier in the chapter)
