In this episode, Andres and Matti talk to Mike Sperber, CEO of Active Group in Germany. They discuss how to successfully develop an application based on deep learning in Haskell, contrast learning by example with the German bureaucratic approach, and highlight the virtues of having fewer changes in the language.
Joachim Breitner and David Christiansen interview John MacFarlane, a professor of philosophy at UC Berkeley, but also the author of the popular pandoc document conversion tool, which has been around half as long as Haskell itself. He also explains the principle of uniformity as a design goal for lightweight markup languages, the...
Use this thread to ask any Haskell related questions which you think doesn't deserve a thread of their own. Ask away!
I've mentioned my new effect system, Bluefin, a few times on this forum. It's now ready for me to announce it more formally....
The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.8.2. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available on the release page....
The GHC developers are very pleased to announce the availability of the first alpha prerelease of GHC 9.8.1. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at downloads.haskell.org. GHC 9.8 will bring a number of new features and improvements, including:...
Welcome to the comedy of errors that is our tale of four tumultuous, yet rewarding, years deploying Haskell in a production environment at Scarf...
In this episode, we are joined by Rebecca Skinner. She talks about her new book, Effective Haskell, which takes you from list manipulation to thunks to type-level programming. She also tells us about large scale industrial applications in Haskell, and how the architecture is shaped by the organization of the engineering teams.
We are delighted to announce that the Sovereign Tech Fund is investing in the development and maintenance of Cabal, the Haskell build system.
The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.6.3. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available on the release page. This release is primarily a bugfix release addressing a few issues found in the 9.6 series. These include: ...
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.
This release mainly introduces nightly support. Also see: https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/guide/#nightlies...
News about the Haskell programming language from 2024-05-02.
In this episode, Wouter and Andres interview Ivan Perez, a senior research scientist at NASA. Ivan tells us about how NASA uses Haskell to develop the Copilot embedded domain specific language for runtime verification, together with some of the obstacles he encounters getting to end users to learn Haskell and adopt such an EDSL.
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...
By default, Haskell does not provide call stacks when errors occur. To get call stacks, one can add the HasCallStack constraint to any function to request it. However, did you know that doing this carelessly can cause memory usage to explode...
Hi Friends of Haskell, It is our pleasure to announce that ZuriHac 2024 will take place Saturday 8 June - Monday 10 June 2024 as a physical event at the Rapperswil-Jona campus of the OST Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences. The focus of ZuriHac is being a community event and hackathon, but we will also have some...
Today, Matthías and Joachim are interviewing Moritz Angermann. Moritz knew he wanted to use Haskell before he knew Haskell, fixed cross-compilation as his first GHC contribution. We'll talk more about cross-compilation to Windows and mobile platforms, why Template Haskell is the cause of most headaches, why you should be...
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...
The Haskell Symposium is a two-day workshop co-located with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). In a previous blog post we discussed the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop (HIW), which is another Haskell-workshop co-located with ICFP, but unlike HIW, the Haskell Symposium is a scientific workshop with...
