--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haskell Weekly News http://sequence.complete.org/hwn/20100208 Issue 149 - February 08, 2010 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to issue 149 of HWN, a newsletter covering developments in the [1]Haskell community. Hello Haskellers, this week's HWN was delayed a bit in the hopes of making it a bit more substantial. I hate putting up thin HWNs, but of course this must occasionally happen. We have several new CFPs for workshops this week, a new benchmarking package, and some fun quotes. Till next week, Haskellers, your Haskell Weekly News! Announcements Call for Papers: Haskell Symposium 2010. Jeremy.Gibbons [2]announced a call for papers for the 2010 ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2010 in Baltimore, Maryland; on 30th September. 2nd CfP: LOPSTR 2010. Temur Kutsia [3]announced a second call for papers for the 20th International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and Transformation, being held in Hagenberg, Austria, July 23-25, 2010 (co-located with PPDP 2010). PAR 2010: First CFP. Koen Claessen [4]announced a first call for papers for PAR'10, the Workshop on Partiality and Recursion in Interactive Theorem Provers. data-ordlist-0.2. Leon Smith [5]announced a new release of ordlist, including a change to the module name and bug fixes. progression-0.1. Neil Brown [6]announced Progression, a metalibrary which consolidates various existing tools for Haskell optimization (notably Criterion). HList darcs repo. Oleg He who inhabits all types, but is not _|_, has [7]announced a new darcs repo for HList (and OOHaskell) on community.haskell.org. Discussion a beginner question: decorate-op-undecorate. Aran Donohue [8]asked about how to write a function which can 'inspect' inside a datatype. Translation of Haskell type classes. Enrique Martin [9]talked about some experiments he's done with type classes, and asked some questions regarding optimization related to them. Category Theory woes. Mark Spezzano [10]asked about resources for learning about category theory. Blog noise [11]Haskell news from the [12]blogosphere. Blog posts from people new to the Haskell community are marked with >>>, be sure to welcome them! * Dan Piponi (sigfpe): [13]The Categorification of the Naturals. * Roman Cheplyaka: [14]hledger. * Luke Palmer: [15]Associative Alpha Blending. * Neil Brown: [16]Progression: Supporting Optimisation in Haskell. * Holumbus: [17]Hayoo!

Quotes of the Week * lispy|web: This curses binding appears to be terminally broken * lispy: I did, 'cabal install mage' and it complains about curses * lament: Just use fix to find the least funny joke * copumpkin: A monad is just a lax functor from a terminal bicategory, duh. fuck that monoid in category of endofunctors shit About the Haskell Weekly News New editions are posted to [22]the Haskell mailing list as well as to [23]the Haskell Sequence and [24]Planet Haskell.
