The rise of tooling for vulnerability detection combined with pressure driven by Vendor Due Diligence is causing a massive enterprise freezeout for non-mainstream technologies across the board. Of particular concern is the impact this will have on the ado[...]

there are functions out there more scary than unsafePerformIO and this is the tale of one of them: absurd. This powerful spell allows evil warlocks to conjure anything they want from the Void: but what does that mean? Is this even possible without using t[...]

If you used Haskell for some time you probably have seen Hoogle and used the Haddock Documentations before. But what if you want to take those with you (say you have no WiFi)? I like to install both things locally and stack is a really nice and quick way [...]

Tweet Hello, Recording of my programming languages talk at The Lead Developer conference this year is available now. It was a well run, and intimate conference despite nearly 500 attendees this year. It’s quite different from many conferences I have atten[...]

Die Wahl des richtigen Editors ist ja fast eine Glaubenssache – glücklicherweise bieten praktisch alle beliebten Editoren Haskell Unterstützung (zumindest Syntax-Highlighting). Ihr könnt für den Workshop also verwenden was ihr wollt, trotzdem möchte ich e[...]

Ich wollte ein paar Worte darüber verlieren, wie ihr am einfachsten Haskell auf euer System bekommt. Bevor ich anfange: für meinen Workshop auf dem Developer Open Space ist es ziemlich egal: wenn ihr GHCi zum laufen bekommt (extrem einfach) reicht das! vi[...]

Ich bin dieses Jahr wieder beim Developer Open Space in Leipzig, der vom 16. bis zum 18. Oktober stattfindet. Ich werde dieses Mal sogar am Freitag einen Workshop anbieten und würde mich freuen euch als Teilnehmer begrüßen zu dürfen 😉 Workshop Funktional[...]

Earlier in the year I came across a Stanford coding assignment inspired by Andrej Bauer’s Random Art. Pictures are built using randomly chosen mathematical expressions that take an x and y value and return a colour. The implementation on Andrej’s site use[...]

I wanted to play with ØMQ since @ph_j got me excited about it on the DWX15 last week. This is the result after a rainy lunch-break: Just a quick post on how I got ØMQ working on Windows with Haskell and .net/C# ;) Install / Windows First I grabbed the ins[...]

Tweet Having been primarily involved with .Net languages in my career so far, homoiconicity was a new idea to me when I first encountered it in Clojure (and also later in Elixir). If you look it up on wikipedia, you’ll find the usual wordy definition that[...]
