Welcome back to the Happy Haskell HAckers Tour. As we approach our next
stop, let me firstly apologise for the recent detours. Our bus driver,
Yoneda, mixed up the maps and started following the GHC After
Dark1 script. But now we’re back on track, and coming up on your
left is our monument to the Haskell literals:
My trans daughter came out to me at a Haskell workshop. At the time, I thought I was tech support but, in retrospect, she was locating a safe space for both of us to digest the news. I helped with installs, practised my pronouns and had a blast.
A whirlwind, github tour of 4 active Haskell projects.
There’s a lot happening in Haskell-land, and I thought I’d take stock of a few issues lists in github. Let’s jump in.
Type-level trickery, UpperCase Haskell, is the showy rock-star of Haskell and all power to the Type. I like a good Type as much as anyone, but what keeps me using the language is the work-a-day value-level coding tool-kit - lower case haskell.
Much advocacy of Haskell, in general, boils down to type-safety and elimination of bugs. How boring. My personal experience is that bugs are trickier in Haskell and I can write bad code in an extraordinary variety of ways.
