Towards generic programming in F#: thoughts on generalizing the earlier combinators over records and unions... I wrote earlier a little post on combinators over records and unions. This approach in F# is still very attractive to me for defining various[...]

The annual CUFP workshop is a place where people can see how others are using functional programming to solve real world problems; where practitioners meet and collaborate; where language designers and users can share ideas about the future of their favor[...]

WARNING: what I describe here seems to be an antipattern See Haskell Antipattern: Existential Typeclass So better only use it with what is said in the Haskell-Wiki and mind the good comments bellow – Thank you Stephen and Jacob Sometimes … Weiterlesen →

Tech Mesh - The Alternative Programming Conference is designed to support and promote useful non-mainstream technologies in the software industry and dedicated to users and inventors of various languages and technologies. By offering a networking platform[...]

you know Hoogle – don’t you? In case you don’t Hoogle is a search-engine where you can look for Haskell functions. You can use with it’s web-interface and there are a couple of plugins (for GHCi, etc.) The great thing … Continue reading →

I recently started using Sublime Text 2 as my main editor for non .net related languages – and I really enjoy it (I think I will pay Mr. Skinner soon – well deserved!). If you are working with Haskell, then … Continue reading →

To try out something different, I took a shot at writing a pretty-printing module. Of all the papers I found on the subject, perhaps the most accessible is A prettier printer by Wadler. In particular the algebra of documents presented in the paper is very[...]

Fizz-Buzz or Bizz Buzz is a word game, popularized by Jeff Atwood in the article: Why Can’t Programmers… Program? The game has been turned into a simple programming test: Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples o[...]

Less than a month to go now until the first FP event of this year – the Functional Programming eXchange at Skills Matter in London on March 16th. Robert Pickering has put together another great line up including on the F# side Tomas Petricek on F# 3.0’[...]
