<p>This entire blog is generated with <a href="https://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/">hakyll</a>. It’s
a library for generating static sites for Haskell, a purely functional
programming language. It’s a <em>library</em> because it doesn’t come with as many
batteries included as tools like Hugo or Astro. You set up most of the site
yourself by calling the library from Haskell.</p>

<p>Haskell is a purely functional language with no mutable state. Its syntax
actually makes it pretty elegant for declaring routes and “rendering” pipelines.</p>
<ol>
<li>Haskell is cool.</li>
<li>It comes with enough features that I don’t feel like I have to build
everything from scratch.</li>
<li>It comes with Pandoc, a Haskell library for converting between markdown
formats. It’s probably more powerful than anything you could do in <code>nodejs</code>.
It renders all of the markdown to HTML as well as the math.
<ol>
<li>It supports KaTeX as well as MathML. I’m a little disappointed with the
KaTeX though. It doesn’t directly render it, but simply injects the KaTeX
files and renders it client-side.</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="speaking-of-math">speaking of math</h3>
<p>We can have math inline, like so:
<math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msubsup><mo>∫</mo><mrow><mo>−</mo><mi>∞</mi></mrow><mi>∞</mi></msubsup><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><msup><mi>e</mi><mrow><mo>−</mo><msup><mi>x</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow></msup><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><mi>d</mi><mi>x</mi><mo>=</mo><msqrt><mi>π</mi></msqrt></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\int_{-\infty}^\infty \, e^{-x^2}\,dx = \sqrt{\pi}</annotation></semantics></math>. This site ships semantic
MathML math with its HTML, and the MathJax script to the client.</p>
<p>It’d be nice if MathML could just be used and supported across all browsers, but
unfortunately we still aren’t quite there yet. Firefox is the only one where
everything looks 80% of the way to LaTeX. On Safari and Chrome, even simple
equations like <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><msqrt><mi>π</mi></msqrt><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\sqrt{\pi}</annotation></semantics></math> render improperly.</p>
<p>Pros of MathML:</p>
<ul>
<li>A little more accessible</li>
<li>Can be rendered without additional stylesheets. I just installed the Latin
Modern font, but this isn’t even really necessary</li>
<li>Built-in to most browsers (#UseThePlatform)</li>
</ul>
<p>Cons:</p>
<ul>
<li>Isn’t fully standardized. Might look different on different browsers</li>
<li>Rendering quality isn’t as good as KaTeX</li>
</ul>
<p>This site has MathJax render all of the math so it looks nice and standardized
across browsers, but the math still displays regardless (like say if MathJax
couldn’t load due to slow network) because of MathML. Best of both worlds.</p>
<p>Let’s try it now. Here’s a simple theorem:</p>
<p><math display="block" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msup><mi>a</mi><mi>n</mi></msup><mo>+</mo><msup><mi>b</mi><mi>n</mi></msup><mo>≠</mo><msup><mi>c</mi><mi>n</mi></msup><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><mo>∀</mo><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><mrow><mo stretchy="true" form="prefix">{</mo><mi>a</mi><mo>,</mo><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><mi>b</mi><mo>,</mo><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><mi>c</mi><mo stretchy="true" form="postfix">}</mo></mrow><mo>∈</mo><mstyle mathvariant="double-struck"><mi>ℤ</mi></mstyle><mo>∧</mo><mi>n</mi><mo>≥</mo><mn>3</mn></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">
a^n + b^n \ne c^n \, \forall\,\left\{ a,\,b,\,c \right\} \in \mathbb{Z} \land n \ge 3
</annotation></semantics></math></p>
<p>The proof is trivial and will be left as an exercise to the reader.</p>

<p>This entire blog is generated with <a href="https://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/">hakyll</a>. It’s
a library for generating static sites for Haskell, a purely functional
programming language. It’s a <em>library</em> because it doesn’t come with as many
batteries included as tools like Hugo or Astro. You set up most of the site
yourself by calling the library from Haskell.</p>
<p>Here’s a brief excerpt:</p>

<h2 id="why">why?</h2>
<p>Haskell is a purely functional language with no mutable state. Its syntax
actually makes it pretty elegant for declaring routes and “rendering” pipelines.</p>
<ol>
<li>Haskell is cool.</li>
<li>It comes with enough features that I don’t feel like I have to build
everything from scratch.</li>
<li>It comes with Pandoc, a Haskell library for converting between markdown
formats. It’s probably more powerful than anything you could do in <code>nodejs</code>.
It renders all of the markdown to HTML as well as the math.
<ol>
<li>It supports KaTeX as well as MathML. I’m a little disappointed with the
KaTeX though. It doesn’t directly render it, but simply injects the KaTeX
files and renders it client-side.</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="speaking-of-math">speaking of math</h3>
<p>We can have math inline, like so:
<math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msubsup><mo>∫</mo><mrow><mo>−</mo><mi>∞</mi></mrow><mi>∞</mi></msubsup><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><msup><mi>e</mi><mrow><mo>−</mo><msup><mi>x</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow></msup><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><mi>d</mi><mi>x</mi><mo>=</mo><msqrt><mi>π</mi></msqrt></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\int_{-\infty}^\infty \, e^{-x^2}\,dx = \sqrt{\pi}</annotation></semantics></math>. This site ships semantic
MathML math with its HTML, and the MathJax script to the client.</p>
<p>It’d be nice if MathML could just be used and supported across all browsers, but
unfortunately we still aren’t quite there yet. Firefox is the only one where
everything looks 80% of the way to LaTeX. On Safari and Chrome, even simple
equations like <math display="inline" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><msqrt><mi>π</mi></msqrt><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\sqrt{\pi}</annotation></semantics></math> render improperly.</p>
<p>Pros of MathML:</p>
<ul>
<li>A little more accessible</li>
<li>Can be rendered without additional stylesheets. I just installed the Latin
Modern font, but this isn’t even really necessary</li>
<li>Built-in to most browsers (#UseThePlatform)</li>
</ul>
<p>Cons:</p>
<ul>
<li>Isn’t fully standardized. Might look different on different browsers</li>
<li>Rendering quality isn’t as good as KaTeX</li>
</ul>
<p>This site has MathJax render all of the math so it looks nice and standardized
across browsers, but the math still displays regardless (like say if MathJax
couldn’t load due to slow network) because of MathML. Best of both worlds.</p>
<p>Let’s try it now. Here’s a simple theorem:</p>
<p><math display="block" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msup><mi>a</mi><mi>n</mi></msup><mo>+</mo><msup><mi>b</mi><mi>n</mi></msup><mo>≠</mo><msup><mi>c</mi><mi>n</mi></msup><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><mo>∀</mo><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><mrow><mo stretchy="true" form="prefix">{</mo><mi>a</mi><mo>,</mo><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><mi>b</mi><mo>,</mo><mspace width="0.167em"></mspace><mi>c</mi><mo stretchy="true" form="postfix">}</mo></mrow><mo>∈</mo><mstyle mathvariant="double-struck"><mi>ℤ</mi></mstyle><mo>∧</mo><mi>n</mi><mo>≥</mo><mn>3</mn></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">
a^n + b^n \ne c^n \, \forall\,\left\{ a,\,b,\,c \right\} \in \mathbb{Z} \land n \ge 3
</annotation></semantics></math></p>
<p>The proof is trivial and will be left as an exercise to the reader.</p>
<h2 id="seems-a-little-overengineered">seems a little overengineered</h2>
<p>Probably is. Not as much as the old one, though.</p></main>
