In my attempt to get my first paycheck, aka get a job, I have led myself down a fascinating rabbit hole into functional programming, mathematical notation, and parsing theory. Haskell excels at representing complex ideas in just a few lines of code, and it makes translating mathematical concepts into working programs remarkably straightforward. Using monadic parsing techniques, I built a more flexible parser that handles spaces and multi-digit numbers while maintaining the elegance of Hutton's design:
