Via the ever industrious Danny O’Brien, we bring to you the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s end-of-year animation. Learn more about this video and support EFF! read moreFunctional programmers on Twitter
December 06 2008
Twitter has become quite the hotbed of chatter about functional programming over the past few months, as a substantial number of pretty well known FP people have either been present all along or have signed up recently and started following each other. Here is a list of people I know about… read moreUsing Bloom filters for large scale gene sequence analysis in Haskell

Ketil Malde and I submitted this paper to PADL 09. Updated 2008-10-13: the paper was accepted! Here is the PDF copy. And for the impatient, here is the abstract. Analysis of biological data often involves large data sets and computationally expensive algorithms. Databases of biological data continue to grow, leading to an… read moreOctober 09 2008
A few months ago, I tore the A4 pulley tendon in my right ring finger in a climbing accident. Yesterday, I had it reconstructed (completely ruptured tendons don’t heal) with a graft of tendon from my forearm. I can currently only type with one hand, so if I owe you… read moreUnix hacking in Haskell: better pseudoterminal support
September 30 2008
Some time around the GHC 6.6.1 era, I added pty support to the standard Haskell unix package. It's very basic in form, and I've been sitting for a long time on another patch to round it out. The basic pty interface is as follows: openPseudoTerminal :: IO (Fd, Fd) This… read moreSlides from my DEFUN 2008 Haskell tutorial

I’ve posted my slides from tomorrow morning’s Haskell tutorial on Slideshare. (There’s a downloadable PDF version, too, if you find that an easier format to deal with.) I’ve also posted a Mercurial repository of the slide source code, in case anyone would like to cannibalise the slides for their own purposes.… read moreSome notes on the future of Haskell and FP
September 26 2008
Don Stewart, Duncan Coutts and Simon Marlow ended the Haskell Symposium yesterday with a wonderful session about the future of Haskell. Don and Duncan began with an acknowledgement of the importance of libraries to the health and future of the Haskell language community. A long-standing need for a central source of… read moreTwittering from ICFP / Haskell symposium / CUFP
September 25 2008
I’m in Victoria, BC this week, at ICFP. I’ve been writing a few notes about the talks that have been taking place in my Twitter stream. Also Twittering from the conference is Don Stewart. The Haskell symposium has gotten off to a great start, with very good talks that have blended… read moreAlso find Bryan on:
