This note is to suggest an approach to introducing Haskell. It is not a pitch for a gig to do so. A big selling point for Haskell is how clean and simple some kinds of Haskell code are. My personal hobby horse of this type is stream processing. Lazy evaluation makes for dramatic simplification, as can be seen in a couple of offerings on my website. I have given talks based on this theme to (mathematically inclined) audiences who have absolutely no Haskell nous. For folks who know freshman calculus, power series computations in Haskell are an eye-opener--no fussing with storage allocation and no subscripts at all! Only rudimentary Haskell ideas need to be discussed to make these functions intelligible. https://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~doug/powser.html. Another Haskell example, a basic prime-number sieve, reduces a page of C code, or a half-page of shell script to two elegant lines of code. https://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~doug/sieve/sieve.pdf Doug McIlroy On Mon, Dec 19, 2022 at 7:19 AM wrote:

Hi Folks:

I would like to know if anyone from the Haskell organization would like to give a presentation on Haskell to our BSD User Group (BSD = Berkeley Software Development). We are the South Eastern Michigan BSD User Group (http://www.semibug.org/). Myself and several other members are very intereested in Haskell and would like to learn more about this language.

You would make the presentation online, by means of Jitsi. The date I am hoping for is January 17th, 2023. I can move that date if need be. The talks are usually given in the evenings. Contact me off list for more details.

Thanks in advance.

-- Kind regards, Jonathan

Jonathan,

I might be available, if you are interested. Most of my work is Haskell-centric. I've made commercial games and apps (mobile, desktop, web). In the last 5y I've focused on runtime monitoring and language transformation (very broadly speaking).

See https://ivanperez.io/ for details.

If you are interested, we can continue the discussion off-list.

Thanks,

Ivan
