I would highly recommend Andreas Herrmann's "GHC Hacking Newcomer Guide" talk to anyone looking to get started hacking on GHC; it's a wealth of information communicated clearly and succinctly. #haskell #compiler #hacking

For the record, my account was hacked in late August. I've cleaned up the mess however do note that I do not use this platform. Find me on Bluesky or Mastodon.

Big news! @HaskellOrg Committee and @HaskellFound are uniting to form a single non-profit. This merger strengthens our shared mission to support the #Haskell language, its community, and the future of functional programming. blog.haskell.org/haskell-fou…

Me, on Virginia Public Radio:
“This is really the first time that automakers are being told that they will need to take into account pedestrian safety in the physical design of their vehicles. This has never actually happened before in America.”

Finally, the Biden administration is taking a stand against car bloat.
@NHTSAgov has proposed banning SUV & pickup hood designs that are especially likely to cause head injuries.
In @FastCompany, I explained why this could be a watershed moment. 🧵

Chipmakers puting AI cores in your CPU and not letting you use them for absolutely anything is the biggest waste of silicon in the history of modern computing.
Those tensor cores are godsend for things like large-scale CAD simulations but there's absolutely no way to access them

The four questions I was taught to ask before writing something are:
- Is it clear?
- Is it true?
- Is it necessary?
- Is it kind?
They're not all needed at all times, and they conflict, but I think you should think carefully before dropping any of them. Especially kindness.
GHC 9.10.1 is at long last released!
Between the continued iteration on the GHC20xx meta-extension mechanisms, further improvements in the JS/wasm backends, and (my favorite) the availability of exception backtraces in `base`, there is lots to be excited about.
#haskell
See the Haskell Discourse post for the full announcement:

The GHC 9.10.1 release candidate is now available for download!
So far this has been a rather uneventful pre-release cycle bug-wise. Moreover, with relatively little breakage in the library space, I'm hopeful that this will be an easy migration.

The third and final alpha release leading to 9.10.1 is now available!

GHC 9.10.1-alpha1 is now available for your enjoyment

GHC 9.10.1-alpha1 is now available!
Lots of goodness in this release including a few great steps on the road to Dependent Haskell, the long-awaited introduction of exception backtraces, and Javascript FFI support in the Wasm backend.

Well-Typed are looking forward to @ZuriHac and are glad to support the GHC Contributors' Workshop run by @haskellfound next week! Check out well-typed.com/blog/2023/06/… for details of talks by @bgamari, @samderbyshire, @kosmikus and others from Well-Typed.
GHC 9.6.2 is now available.
Happy Haskelling!

The #Haskell exception backtrace proposal is very close to completion. However, we could use your feedback on handling of nested exceptions.
Library authors: please leave yours thoughts on the designs proposed in this comment:
