``` ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Implementors' Workshop https://icfp24.sigplan.org/home/hiw-2024 Milan, Italy, September 2, 2024 Co-located with ICFP 2024 https://icfp24.sigplan.org/ ``` ## Important dates * Deadline: July 19, 2024 (AoE) * Notification: August 2, 2024 * Workshop: September 2, 2024 The 16th Haskell Implementors’ Workshop is to be held alongside ICFP 2024 this year in Milan. It is a forum for people involved in the design and development of Haskell implementations, tools, libraries, and supporting infrastructure to share their work and to discuss future directions and collaborations with others. Talks and/or demos are proposed by submitting an abstract, and selected by a small program committee. There will be no published proceedings. The workshop will be informal and interactive, with open spaces in the timetable and room for ad-hoc discussion, demos, and lightning talks. ## Scope and Target Audience It is important to distinguish the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop from the Haskell Symposium which is also co-located with ICFP 2024. The Haskell Symposium is for the publication of Haskell-related research. In contrast, the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop will have no proceedings – although we will aim to make talk videos, slides, and presented data available with the consent of the speakers. The Implementors’ Workshop is an ideal place to describe a Haskell extension, describe works-in-progress, demo a new Haskell-related tool, or even propose future lines of Haskell development. Members of the wider Haskell community are encouraged to attend the workshop – we need your feedback to keep the Haskell ecosystem thriving. Students working with Haskell are especially encouraged to share their work. The scope covers any of the following topics. There may be some topics that people feel we’ve missed, so by all means submit a proposal even if it doesn’t fit exactly into one of these buckets: * Compilation techniques * Language features and extensions * Type system implementation * Concurrency and parallelism: language design and implementation * Performance, optimization and benchmarking * Virtual machines and run-time systems * Libraries and tools for development or deployment ## Talks We invite proposals from potential speakers for talks and demonstrations. We are aiming for 20-minute talks with 5 minutes for questions and changeovers. We want to hear from people writing compilers, tools, or libraries, people with cool ideas for directions in which we should take the platform, proposals for new features to be implemented, and half-baked crazy ideas. Please submit a talk title and abstract of no more than 300 words. Submissions can be made via HotCRP at https://hiw2024.hotcrp.com until July 19 (anywhere on earth). We will also have a lightning talks session. These have been very well received in recent years, and we aim to increase the time available to them. Lightning talks should be ~7mins and are scheduled on the day of the workshop. Suggested topics for lightning talks are to present a single idea, a work-in-progress project, a problem to intrigue and perplex Haskell implementors, or simply to ask for feedback and collaborators. ## Program Committee * Matthew Pickering (Well-Typed LLP) * David Binder (University of Tübingen) * Gabriella Gonzalez (Mercury) * Sylvain Henry (IOG) * Teofil Camarasu (CircuitHub) ## Contact * Matthew Pickering
