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

April 10, 2009 on 4:00 pm | By ganesh | In |

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 :)

  1. So on what date is he giving the talk?

    (Heard him say on IRC last night that he hadn’t given it yet.)

  2. Oops. Ignore me. Should have looked a few items down on my news feed. *sigh* The perils of reading news on a tiny screen…

  4. Forgive me if this has been mentioned already and I missed it, but are there plans to record and post video or audio of this? I suspect I’m not the only haskeller outside of London who would be interested in this.

  5. What sort of time will this wind up? (Need to know for trains and such.)

  7. BTW, sorry to everyone whose comments only appeared just now; the blog doesn’t email me when people make comments so I tend to forget about the moderation queue :-(

    There’s no video, I’m afraid, but slides have now been posted.
