Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm interested in attending the Hackathon, but I don't have any
previous experience working on compilers. I think it could be a great
learning experience, but I certainly don't want to slow progress on any
work by just hanging around asking questions. I'm a
mathematician/statistician, and my programming experience is limited to
high-level languages like Python, R, and Haskell. I can read C (sort
of), but I've been too frustrated by the lack of high-level features to
do anything useful with it. I've been using Haskell for about 2 years
now (every chance I get), and I'm very interested in using it to allow
high-performance (preferably parallel) code to be written at a very
high level of abstraction.<br>
<br>
Given this, does it seem there would be much I could help with?<br>
<br>
