Finance and Haskell

Lately, I feel more and more interested in finance. I mean the whole story: reading articles and books about investment science, math for finance, trading systems, portfolio optimization, the stock market, accounting etc. Very fascinating stuff.

At the same time I am experimenting with Haskell, the canonical pure functional programming language. Thanks to the beta chapters of the Real World Haskell book I was able to finally 'get it'. Haskell is elegant, powerful and surprisingly pragmatic.

I am working on a hobby project that combines these new passions of mine. The codename of the project is 'Greed' ;-)

Any more information on "Greed?" I'm interested in finance and haskell as well. Look forward to reading more from you

I am progressing nicely (though a little bit slow). Nothing to write about yet but coming there ;-)
