A library for algebraic construction and manipulation of graphs in Haskell. See
[this paper](https://github.com/snowleopard/alga-paper) for the motivation behind the library, the underlying
theory and implementation details.

The following series of blog posts also describe the ideas behind the library:
* Introduction: https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/andreymokhov/an-algebra-of-graphs/
* A few different flavours of the algebra: https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/andreymokhov/graphs-a-la-carte/
* Graphs in disguise or How to plan you holiday using Haskell: https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/andreymokhov/graphs-in-disguise/
* Old graphs from new types: https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/andreymokhov/old-graphs-from-new-types/

Some preliminary benchmarks can be found in [doc/benchmarks](https://github.com/snowleopard/alga/blob/master/doc/benchmarks.md).
