On one of my projects, I decided I wanted to provide optional support for pthreads, because I wanted portability to dinosaur compilers.

Earlier this week, I gave a talk at the Melbourne Compose Group (mailing list) about using Haskell to implement AWS Lambda functions.

When I was younger, I played a lot of MUDs (“Multi-User Dungeons” — the text-only predecessors of modern MMORPGs, often played over Telnet).

I’ve been very impressed by the Cosmopolitan Libc project and the αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε file format that makes it all possible.

Haskell’s expressive type system means that type signatures can carry a lot of information.

I have travelled a lot this year, and after yet another trip where I lugged too many things around, I’ve been thinking about ways to cut back.

I’ve been meaning to write this one for a while, but the announcement of the Ladybird Browser Initiative makes now a particularly good time.

It’s really easy to misuse lazy I/O (e.g., hGetContents) in nontrivial Haskell programs.

I have a nascent side project which is intended to participate in a bootstrap chain.

Last month, Brendan Hay and I released the 2.0 version of Amazonka, the de facto but unofficial AWS SDK for Haskell.
