Projects
- TreeViz - a computation breakdown visualization project hosted by David Banas
- Haskell Platform, the new build - We are working on a new build system for all of Haskell Platform: Generating tarballs, installers, and even the web site from one single Shake based build tool. Lots to do! See Mark Lentczner.
- lambda-ccc - a project for compiling Haskell to hardware. I'm doing this work for my day job, but the development is open, and the result will be shared freely. The project starts with a GHC plugin that transforms Core in order to generate a convenient-to-manipulate GADT representation of the original. Then convert to an
Arrow-like algebraic interface that can be interpreted in various ways, including as circuits. See Conal Elliott. - see what Template Haskell generates. For those interested in hacking on the GHC compiler, see Greg Weber
- Snowdrift.coop — a community-engagement and fundraising platform strictly for Free/Libre/Open projects, built on Yesod; Head developer David Thomas and co-founder (and Haskell beginner) Aaron Wolf will be on hand. We have a wide range of projects at different levels and sizes to hack on.
