Maybe I can clean it up some and post it here. I don’t know how much time I spent but it was more than 2 hours. I’m still at the stage of doing quite a bit of refactoring and head scratching as I write even simple Haskell code. I wonder if one gets past that.

The idea of “beautiful code” is definitely in the eye of the beholder and makes for some interesting discussions. In my youth I loved small elegant pieces of code full of cleverness. Then I switched and was focused more on finished code that did exactly and only what the client needed. Now I am battling with how to make elegant simple code that is exactly and only what was needed … but still looks beautiful.
