IO tutorials timeline

This is a comprehensive timeline of I/O tutorials and related articles.

Please update this list as it becomes outdated! If you find a tutorial, article, post, comment, or message that stands on its own as an explanation of I/O, then please take a moment to paste the link somewhere on this page (register a throwaway account, if you prefer). The date, author, and blurb can be added later. This will greatly help others who are using this list as a resource for learning about I/O.

“The work of Peyton-Jones and Wadler   has turned full circle back to Landin's earlier work as their use of Moggi's sequencing monad enables real side-effects to be incorporated into monad operations such as print.”

An introduction to category theory, category theory monads, and their relationship to functional programming, Jonathan M.D. Hill and Keith Clarke (page 9).
