I'm pleased to announce the initial release of the Haskell fad
library, developed by Barak A. Pearlmutter and Jeffrey Mark Siskind.
Fad provides Forward Automatic Differentiation (AD) for functions
polymorphic over instances of 'Num'. There have been many Haskell
implementations of forward AD, with
Very nice to have!
FYI- there is at least one more quantification-based automatic
differentiation implementation in Hackage:
http://comonad.com/haskell/monoids/dist/doc/html/monoids/Data-Ring-Module-AutomaticDifferentiation.html
My implementation is/was focused upon use with monoids and other
mo
A somewhat tricky concern is that that the extra functionality in question
depends on a bunch of primitive definitions that lie below this in the
package and the AD engine is used by a layer on top.
So moving it out would introduce a circular dependency back into the package
or require me to strat

I'll take this as another opportunity to point out that the Haddock docs
of the Numeric Prelude are highly unreadable, due to all qualifie
