<b>The Haskell Workshop</b>. Andres Loeh
 
−
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13273 released]
 
−
the initial call for papers for the ACM SIGPLAN 2006
  
−
[http://www.haskell.org/haskell-workshop/2006/ Haskell Workshop],
 
−
to be held at Portland, Oregon on the 17 September, 2006.
  
−
 
−
The purpose of the [http://haskell.org/haskell-workshop/ Haskell Workshop]
 
−
is to discuss experience with Haskell, and possible
  
−
future developments for the language. The scope of the workshop includes
  
−
all aspects of the design, semantics, theory, application, implementation,
  
−
and teaching of Haskell.

<li><b>Probability Distributions</b>.

Matthias Fischmann [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/11511 released]

normal (gaussian) and uniform distributions.

[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/11543 announced] an

[http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~sseefried/code.html implementation] of

a tool to help explore constructor classes (type
  
−
classes which can take constructors as arguments) described in Mark Jones'
  
−
paper, [http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~mpj/pubs/fpca93.html A system of constructor classes: overloading and implicit higher-order polymorphism.] The implementation not only infers the type
  
−
but also prints out a trace of the derivation tree for the syntax directed
  
−
rules.

<li><b>FFI Imports Packaging Utility</b>. Dimitry Golubovsky
  
−
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13262 announced]
 
−
the pre-release of the FFI Imports Packaging Utility
  
−
(ffipkg), a new member of the HSFFIG package.
  
−
 
−
The `ffipkg' utility prepares a Haskell package containing FFI imports
  
−
for building by accepting locations of C header and foreign library
  
−
files as command line arguments and producing Haskell source files
  
−
with FFI declarations, a Makefile, a Cabal package descriptor file,
  
−
and a Setup.hs file suitable for running the Cabal package setup
  
−
program. The utility acts as a "driver" running the C preprocessor,
  
−
the equivalent of the hsffig program, and the source splitter.

Haskell this academic year. The results are

<b>EclipseFP</b>. Thiago Arrais
 
−
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/11141 announced]
 
−
that EclipseFP 0.9.1 has been released since last
  
−
Friday. It is an open-source development environment for Haskell code.
  
−
EclipseFP integrates GHC with an Haskell-aware code editor and also
  
−
supports quick file browsing through an outline view, automatic
  
−
building/compiling and quick one-button code execution. Downloads and

more information are available on the

<b>Class-parameterized classes, and type-level logarithm</b>. Oleg
  
−
Kiselyov [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13223 writes]: we show invertible, terminating, 3-place addition, multiplication,
  
−
exponentiation relations on type-level Peano numerals, where <i>any</i>
  
−
two operands determine the third. We also show the invertible factorial
  
−
relation. This gives us all common arithmetic operations on Peano numerals,
  
−
including n-base discrete logarithm, n-th root, and the inverse of factorial.
  
−
The inverting method can work with any representation of (type-level) numerals,
  
−
binary or decimal.
  
−
 
−
Oleg says, "The implementation of RSA on the type level is left for future work".

the initial alpha release of a [http://www.cminusminus.org/ C--]

frontend (parser, pretty printer, and semantic checker) written in
  
−
Haskell. The goal when beginning this project was to create a

those targeting C-- compilers. This implementation attempts to

numbers at the order of 10^15 (at least). It also contains a

test suite to help validate the somewhat unintuitive algorithms.

<b>Haskell'</b>

This week Isaac Jones announced that the Haskell' standardisation

process is underway. Haskell' will be a conservative refinement of
  
−
Haskell 98:
  
−  
−
<blockquote>
  
−
Announcing the Haskell' ("Haskell-Prime") process. A short time ago,
  
−
I asked for volunteers to help with the next Haskell standard. A
  
−
brave group has spoken up, and we've organized ourselves into a
  
−
committee in order to coordinate the community's work. It will be the
  
−
committee's task to bring together the very best ideas and work of the
  
−
broader community in an "open-source" way, and to fill in any gaps in
  
−
order to make Haskell' as coherent and elegant as Haskell 98.
