Hello!My interest stems from work I'm doing currently that includes trying to design a nice data frame (a la R) as a library that leverages all of haskell's good parts. Depending on how the overall project that I'm doing this for evolves, I might try to grow it into a general (ish) purpose db as a library.
My interest (via the data frame project) stems from thinking that there is no nice end to end tool chain from db / data store -> machine learning / mathematical modellibng -> other things (datavis / actions / various other things) and experimenting with trying to put my thoughts on this whole process together
on a more near term and prosaic side, I've a few projects in their nascent stages that need their algorithmic cores to be written in haskell (for reasons of correctness and really needing to have things work right) where I'll also need a gis capable DB, so I hope to help contribute to that part of the eco system, whether by contribing small things towards postgres-simple or otherwise.
I"m really excited about this list!

Hello!
I'm the author of hssqlppp, which is a parser and type checker for
SQL.
I'm interested in writing applications in Haskell with the data in a
relational DBMS.
This is what I would like to build/use:
Typesafe wrapper for SQL in Haskell using quasi quotes, with fallback
for SQL which isn't understood by the parser or typechecker.
Alternative syntax instead of SQL, but still running on a SQL DBMS -
something based on Tutorial D, but with more Haskell-y concrete
syntax.
Simple DBMS written in Haskell which supports the above two syntaxes.
Thanks,
Jake.
