Re: [Haskell-cafe] Places to write and publish projects that "explain ideas"?

I have no personal experience with the journal SoftwareX, but one of my department’s undergraduate computer science students published an article with a mathematics professor there. The article included a software component that the CS student did as a part of his senior honors thesis. Sent from my iPhone

Hey, yep, indeed, it is considered a requirement.

I'm not aware of people in the past who have published articles of this form - in general, the requirements are peer reviewed publications in a "good" journal / conference - measure by impact factor or what have you. Hence the question :)

Something implied -- though not explicated -- in your email is that publication serves as some form of requirement before you obtain your degree, yes?

So you're looking for places where your articles can gain sufficient endorsement?

In that case, you want to find out from your department what kind of publishing standards they demand.

Among those who have graduated from your department with publications, precisely where have they published their articles?

Best, Kim-Ee

I have somewhat of an unorthodox problem. I've been writing on and off, a series on implementing compilers "beautifully" in haskell, called tiny-optimising-compiler. They're literate haskell files, with the aim of explaining the really elegant ideas that exist in compilers literature - data flow analysis, abstract interpretation, SSA, continuations, scalar evolution, and some more slightly out-there / research-y things, like polyhedral compilation, equality saturation.

However, I'm also a research student at my university, and am expected to publish before I graduate. I was looking for possible places to publish a project such as this, whose selling point would be "explains things elegantly, and possibly rewords standard things to nice looking haskell". Are there places where one could conceivably publish about such a project? If not, I forsee myself not being able to finish this project for a while longer, and that would make me sad.

Thanks, and a merry christmas to all, ~Siddharth
