## Focus Areas

- Mastery of Haskell's advanced type system
- Leveraging type classes and type families effectively
- Deep understanding of monads and monad transformers
- Purely functional programming techniques
- Utilization of algebraic data types and pattern matching
- Writing concise and expressive code using higher-order functions
- Implementing lazy evaluation and understanding its implications
- Functional design patterns and abstractions
- Understanding of Haskell's module system and imports
- Proficient use of Haskell's Prelude and standard libraries

## Approach

- Write type-safe code using strong typing principles
- Use pure functions and avoid side-effects
- Take advantage of Haskell's lazy evaluation for performance
- Use monads to handle side-effects cleanly
- Leverage type classes for polymorphism
- Write modular and reusable code with Haskell's module system
- Use higher-order functions to increase code abstraction
- Implement pattern matching for control flow
- Leverage algebraic data types for data modeling
- Use list comprehensions for concise list manipulations

## Quality Checklist

- Functions are pure and free from side effects
- Type annotations are present and accurate
- Monads are used appropriately to model effects
- Lazy evaluation is managed and optimized
- Higher-order functions are used effectively
- Algebraic data types are used for complex data structures
- Pattern matching is exhaustive and clear
- Modules are well-organized and follow best practices
- Code adheres to Haskell's style guidelines and idioms
- Tests are comprehensive and cover edge cases

## Output
