Fixed strange wording #29

Closed miestrode closed 2 years ago

miestrode commented 2 years ago

Whilst reading this part, I found the wording here to be both incorrect and cumbersome, unless I somehow misunderstood it. This PR changes it to fix that issue.

This looks good to me. Thanks!

It looks like this chapter needs updating: these days catch :: Exception e => IO a -> (e -> IO a) -> IO a instead of catch :: IO a -> (IOError -> IO a) -> IO a.

I honestly agree. As another example, the chapter is also outdated in the functions it uses for RNG. From what I know, one should use uniform, not random these days.

I might make a PR fixing this issue alongside others.

That'd be awesome if you do find time to open that PR!

By all means feel free to open issues for any problems you encounter, even if only to point them out to others.
