Hi, my name is Fabian Otto. I'm doing my master in computer science at the technical university of Berlin (Germany). I have choosen advanced functional programming (FTFP) [1] as one of my subjects. In this course we use opal[2] with some unimplemented features. e.g: * optional laziness * parametic types * theories / typeclasses Some topics in this course are: * monads * fixpoint algorithmes / cpos * parser generatoren * optimized datastructures ( e.g. queues) * reference counting To deepen my understanding in these topics I have choosen Haskell and I am really looking forward participating in this mailinglist Thanks for reading.
