• Announce: safe-exceptions, for async exception safety

  By providing an API that encourages best practices, and explaining the corner cases clearly, the hope is to turn what was previously something scary into an aspect of Haskell everyone feels safe using.

• Fast, Elegant Regexes in Haskell

  Typed, elegant and efficient — we can have all three.

• Incremental API Takeover with Haskell Servant

  We’ll put the old API behind a reverse proxy that’s handled in Haskell by Servant, and take over an endpoint at a time.

• Haskell meets large scale distributed analytics

  Implement a robust and scalable distributed computing middleware for Haskell, by reusing Apache Spark.

• STGi: STG interpreter

  STGi is a visual STG implementation to help understand Haskell’s execution model.

• Coeffects: Context-aware programming languages

  They are a programming language abstraction for understanding how programs access the context or environment in which they execute.

• Practical examples of using Void

  So I ask you to provide very practical examples, where usage of Void adds clarity, brevity, genericity to the code.
