Thanks again for a great talk, Don!

Don Stewart: Engineering Large Projects in Haskell: A Decade of Haskell at Galois

Here’s the title and abstract for Don’s talk, on Monday 20th April from 6:30PM at City University:

Engineering Large Projects In Haskell:
A Decade of Haskell at Galois

Galois has been building systems in Haskell for the
past decade. This talk describes some of what we’ve learned about
in-the-large, commercial Haskell programming. With war stories from a
diverse set of projects, I’ll look at:

* When and where we use Haskell
* Correctness, productivity, scalabilty, maintainability
* What language features we like: types, types, types!
* The Haskell toolchain: compiler, libraries, build systems, etc.
* Being a commercial entity in a largely open source community

Don Stewart is an Australian hacker and an R&D lead at Galois, Inc,
based in Portland, Oregon. He has been involved in a broad range of
Haskell projects, with a focus on issues of performance and
scalability. He is co-author of “Real World Haskell”.

Don started using Haskell ten years ago, with MacGofer on the 68k Mac

Next Meeting: Don Stewart from Galois

The next meeting of the London Haskell User Group will be on Monday 20th April from 6:30PM at City University. Apologies for the short notice (again).

Don Stewart from Galois (and one of the authors of Real World Haskell) will talk about his experiences working on large, multi-engineer, multi-year projects in Haskell. Full title and abstract to follow.

As usual see the venue page for full location information.
