Anyone using Tidal/emacs like emacs-live/overtone?
by Cody Goodman 29 May '15

29 May '15

Does anyone have a working setup where you enter Haskell code from the tidal library and use a keybinding to execute that statement (or multiple)? Basically wanting to try livecoding Tidal code like all the overtone videos: https://vimeo.com/22798433

Hi, GLFW.swapBuffers w is the culprit. Not sure where to go from there. That's a pretty low level failure. Any suggestions. Brian

Type inference doesn't always calculate the most generic type?
by Christophe Delord 28 May '15

28 May '15

Hello, I'm new here. Sorry if this question has already been asked. I have noticed something strange about type inference. Prelude> :t abs abs :: Num a => a -> a Prelude> let mapabs = map abs Prelude> :t mapabs mapabs :: [Integer] -> [Integer] Prelude> :t (map abs) (map abs) :: Num b => [b] -> [b] I think that "mapabs" and "map abs" should have the same generic type. In a program I can force the type like this: mapabs = map abs mapabs' :: (Num a) => [a] -> [a] mapabs' = map abs but mapabs still have the type [Integer] -> [Integer] Are there any reason for this? Regards, Christophe Delord.

(Why) must this function remain nameless?
by Clinton Mead 28 May '15

28 May '15

The following code (somewhat contrived) code compiles on GHC without issue, and towards the end repeatedly uses the lambda function "(\fn (D x) -> f fn x)". But when I simply try to give it a name, like so: h = (\fn (D x) -> f fn x) I then get a compile error. How can I name this function, or must it remain forever nameless?

Libraries Mailing Problem?
by Dominic Steinitz 28 May '15

Is there something wrong with the libraries mailing list? There doesn’t seem to have been any traffic since 18 May: https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2015-May/date.html <https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2015-May/date.html> Dominic Steinitz dominic(a)steinitz.org http://idontgetoutmuch.wordpress.com

International Conference on Live Coding, 13-15 July, Registration open
by alex 28 May '15

28 May '15

First International Conference on Live Coding ICSRiM, School of Music, University of Leeds 13th-15th July 2015 http://iclc.livecodenetwork.org/ We are happy to announce that registration for ICLC2015 is now open. Live coding turns programming languages into live interfaces, allowing us to directly manipulate computation via its notation. Live coding has great potential, being used for example to create improvised music and visuals, to allow developers to collaborate in new ways, to better understand computational models by making fundamental changes to them on-the-fly, and to find new ways to learn and teach programming. Since the beginning of the TOPLAP movement in 2003 (building on an extensive but hidden pre-history), live coding has grown fast, attracting interest from many people in artistic, creative, scientific, educational, business and mixed contexts. After a good number of international events, the time is right to bring these people together for an academic conference, exchanging ideas and techniques, and enjoying dozens of peer reviewed papers and performances. The conference will also open up the field for people new to live coding, so they may develop and contribute their own perspectives on this emerging field. Join us! Registration is £80 (£50 concessions) for the three day conference including lunches, evening events, and more. See the website for details of the developing programme: http://iclc.livecodenetwork.org/ And register here, completing both the on-line payment and registration forms: http://iclc.livecodenetwork.org/registration.html ICLC is organised by the Live Coding Research Network, which is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. -- http://yaxu.org/

no Web-Security component in Haskell?
by Thomas Koch 28 May '15

28 May '15

Hallo, I did not found anything comparable to Spring Security[1][2] (Java) or Symfony Security[3] (PHP) in Haskell. Both components are used in web applications to grant or deny access to resources based on roles, ACLs or custom voters. A naive strategy would be to port the concepts of both components, which are very similar, to Haskell. They represent a lot of accumulated knowledge from many experts about web security. Or are there better ways to do web security in a powerful language like Haskell? Regards, Thomas Koch [1] http://projects.spring.io/spring-security [2] http://docs.spring.io/autorepo/docs/spring-security/3.1.7.RELEASE/apidocs [3] http://api.symfony.com/master/Symfony/Component/Security/Core/SecurityConte…

Taking over protocol-buffers package
by Kostiantyn Rybnikov 28 May '15

28 May '15

Hi Chris and Cafe! I've sent Chris an email couple days ago, this is another one to have haskell-cafe CCed in order to request maintainership of protocol-buffers package. Stefan Wehr actually tried to contact Chris long time ago, and thus you can see current "riak" package depends upon protocol-buffers-fork package, created to add support for GHC 7.8. I'd like to incorporate work from protocol-buffers-fork, add support for GHC 7.10, and also move project to GitHub and add some README with at least basic tutorial. Thanks! Awaiting few weeks now :)
