Dear Haskell Community, Since May, 2022, I’ve had the honor and pleasure of serving as the Executive Director of the Haskell Foundation. As many of you know, I’ve had a deep and abiding interest in dependently-typed programming, formal verification, compile-time metaprogramming, and programmer tooling. A rare opportunity...

Releases notes
Hi everyone, The Cabal team would like to ask our users if anyone would object to the Nix Integration being removed (following a reasonable deprecation cycle). It has been reported to us that the feature is non-functional, misleading and the documentation lacking.
9.2.8 is currently the recommended GHC in GHCup, but 9.2 branch won’t get a new release anymore. Stackage LTS-21.1 has moved to 9.4.5: LTS Haskell 21.1 (ghc-9.4.5) :: Stackage Server GHC developers expressed their feeling that 9.4.5 is a good release. It’s supported well by HLS too. What are your opinions? Are there still...
As one of its moderators, I am making the Haskell sub-Reddit private to protest Reddit’s planned changes to API pricing. This is part of a coordinated effort that you can read more about here: I am posting this announcement here because if I posted it to Reddit, nobody would be able to see it. Also I’m recommending that...

Logs are a critical thing in production systems and I would like to start a discussion about bringing low-level support for efficient logging into GHC
In this two-day event, held on the lakeside campus of OST in lovely Rapperswil, Switzerland, you can learn what you need to know in order to get started working on these tools. We’ve asked the presenters to identify ‘good first issues’ for those wanting to get their feet wet on contributing. Because the workshop is...
Today, I am happy to announce the initial release of the botan-bindings and botan-low packages to hackage. This is the result of more than 7 months of sustained effort to provide a series of bindings to the Botan C++ cryptography library, and was made possible through support from the Haskell Foundation and funding provided by...

The focus of ZuriHac is being a community event and hackathon, but we will also have some...
Hello everyone, Two years ago I created get-tested, a tool that reads your cabal file, extracts the tested-with stanza and produces a test matrix for GitHub Actions. It has served me well to this day, but it also recently received a very useful contribution from @turion, who wrote a reusable Github Action for it! I am extremely...
I have started the process where the GHC Steering Committee decides if we should have a GHC2024 language edition, and what it should contain. @MangoIV rightfully reminded me that when we laid out the process three years ago, we said we’d hold a community poll as well....
