Meeting information
Our next meeting is on May 13, 2010 at 19:00 in the 'Technicum' building of Ghent University, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 41, starting at 19:00. The program is as follows:
- Atze Dijkstra: The Utrecht Haskell Compiler
The Utrecht Haskell Compiler (UHC, http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/UHC) is a full-fledged Haskell compiler intended to be experimented with. Internally, the code is aspectwise organized in such a way that (executable) compilers can be constructed from combinations of aspects. Domain specific languages are used to facilitate development, in particular attribute grammars (UUAG, Utrecht University Attribute Grammar system) are used extensively for tree-oriented programming. The development of UHC is interwined with both student and PhD projects: UHC gives rise to new research problems, and is a place where such research results can be made available.
- Jean-Christophe Mincke: An Introduction To Monads
- Drinks at a local bar
