Projects
BayHac is all about the hacking! Add your project below to declare your intent to hack, and inform others on how they can join in.
- /CodeWorld: Educational computer programming environment using Haskell
- /hnix: A Haskell re-implementation of the Nix expression language
- /haddock: Your favourite Haskell documentation generation tool
- karya: A 2D music language, score editor, or sequencer in Haskell. There is also a synthesis backend, and a konnakol-based haskell DSL for writing rhythmic structures. Talk to me if interested, I should be around Friday and Sunday -- Evan Laforge (qdunkan@gmail.com)
- gelatin: A real-time 2D graphics API with multiple backends including OpenGL and WebGL.
- Lambency -- A game/rendering framework built using the arrowized FRP library netwire. I'll be trying to add a networking element within the FRP framework. E-mail me if you're interested in contributing!
- Kitten: A statically typed concatenative programming language. I’ll be working on refactoring the compilation pipeline and integrating a new typechecker, and could use input from people with experience working on developer tools. — Jon Purdy

Is this a scam to steal my intellectual property?
BayHac is not that kind of hackathon; there is no competitive coding element here. It is only a "hackathon" in the sense that a group of Haskellers will gather to hack on various projects.
