by Arthur van Leeuwen 03 May '04

03 May '04

Dear Haskellers, we would like to remind you of the opportunity to contribute to the May 2004 edition of the Haskell Communities & Activities Report. Why not take the few minutes necessary to type up a new or updated entry and send it in? We would love to see people write on the following subject(s): - The Haskell Mailing List - The Haskell Cafe - The Haskell 98 reports - Concurrent Haskell - hierarchical libraries - HaskellDB - HXml - QuickCheck - Yale Haskell group - Parallel and Distributed Functional Languages Research Group at Heriot-Watt University Ofcourse, if you have done other interesting things with Haskell we would very much like to know about those as well! If at all possible, could you please send in your contribution by friday *this* week, i.e. May 7th 2004? We will update the topics list on http://www.haskell.org/communities/topics.html with a nice tickmark as soon as we have received your contribution, to show that you too support the Haskell Communities and Activities Report! Thanks, Arthur (interim editor, May 2004 edition) -- Haskell Communities and Activities Report (May 2004 edition) All contributions are due in by the end of next week! http://www.haskell.org/communities/

UTF-8 encode/decode libraries.
by David Brown 03 May '04

03 May '04

I am writing some utilities to deal with UTF-8 encoded text files (not source). Currently, I'm just reading in the UTF-8 directly, and things work reasonably well, since my parse tokens are ASCII, they are easy to parse. However, the character type seems perfectly happy with larger values for each character. Is anyone aware of any Haskell libraries for doing UTF-8 decoding and encoding? If not, I'll write something simple. Thanks, Dave Brown
