It's amazing how complicated things get with simple-seeming semantics applied to plain text.
I am always curious whether these features could be developed/debugged/maintained faster in other languages... or if it's only because of Haskell that they can be shipped at all. I don't mean theoretically, obviously, but pragmatically, assuming equal personpower/funding.
It's time for the #Haskell Unfolder again! Today's episode is streamed earlier than usual, at 1000 UTC (3am PDT, 6am EDT, 11am BST, 1200 CEST, 3:30pm IST, 1900 JST, 8pm AEST, 10pm NZST). The topic Edsko and I are going to discuss today are "laws", i.e., properties of functions. (Why) should you care about them? How might you go about establishing them? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7673JaWXaA&list=PLD8gywOEY4HaG5VSrKVnHxCptlJv2GAn7&index=8
Learning some haskell now. i have to say, i understand why they call it "functional" now. Declaring generic functions in haskell is basically physically instantaneous. It takes more energy not to write a function.
GHCup-0.1.19.5 prerelease is out!
We are pleased to announce that issues with cross-compilers and GHC JS backend support have been fixed; we invite all #Haskell users to experiment with the release candidate and get some user experience.
GHC Proposal #601 proposes a lifecycle for Haskell language extensions and an associated system of compiler warnings. The lifecycle categorizes language extensions as being one of the following:...
