Issue 94 - November 22, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to issue 94 of HWN, a newsletter covering developments in the
[1]Haskell community.
Lots of interesting reading this week! Martin Escardo writes about
[2]finite search over infinite search spaces expressed as a monad;
Conal Elliott writes about [3]the unambiguous choice operator and
[4]merging partial values; Luke Palmer on [5]restricted data types and
[6]Udon, his system for universal distributed object management; a post
about [7]incremental parsing in Yi; Ryan Ingram on [8]parametric
higher-order abstract syntax; Issue #12 of [9]the Monad.Reader; and
much more!
Announcements
The Monad.Reader - Issue 12: Summer of Code Special. Wouter Swierstra
[10]announced Issue 12 of [11]the Monad.Reader, featuring articles by
Max Bolingbroke, Roman Cheplyaka, and Neil Mitchell describing their
Summer of Code projects.
Turbinado V0.1. Alson Kemp [12]announced the release of [13]Turbinado,
an MVC web framework for Haskell.
EEConfig-1.0. Bartosz Wojcik [14]announced the release of [15]EEConfig,
a simple library for reading parameters from a configuration file.
Discussion
Proof of a multi-threaded application. Silviu Andrica [16]asked about
the possibility of proving the correctness of a multi-threaded
application written in Haskell, leading to a discussion of STM, model
checking, and related issues.
Monadic bind with associated types + PHOAS?. Ryan Ingram [17]wrote
about using parametric higher-order abstract syntax to get the benefits
of HOAS (using the embedding language to express binding and
substitution) while still being able to inspect or optimize the
resulting expressions.
