The Fibonacci sequence

Implementing the fibonacci sequence is considered the "Hello, world!" of Haskell programming. This page collects Haskell implementations of the sequence.

Naive solution

fib 0 = 0
fib 1 = 1
fib n = fib (n-1) + fib (n-2)

Canonical zipWith implementation

fib = 1 : 1 : zipWith (+) fib (tail fib)

With scanl

fib = fix ((1:) . scanl (+) 1)

Fastest Fib in the West
