Haskell eXchange 2012: Simon Peyton Jones on Front end language features
Front end language features
Haskell is 22 years old this year, which is well into senility for most programming languages. Yet it is still developing furiously, and is an absolute hot-house for ideas, crazy and otherwise.  Moreover, during the last few years Haskell has begun to be used for serious work, by developers who just want to get the job done and reckon Haskell is the best way to do it.

In this talk I’ll reflect on the key features of the language and its community that has led to all this creative development. Despite the title Haskell may not in the end dominate the world, but there are lots of interesting developments afoot, especially in (a) types and (b) parallelism.  I’ll describe some of them, and speculate a little about the future.

Well-Typed's Fast Track to Haskell

Want to learn how to use Haskell, its type system design and functional programming concepts? And find out how to use the features that make Haskell unique even among functional languages? Join Haskell expert Andres Loh on February 4-5th (2013) and learn how you can use Haskell's excellent capabilities for abstraction to design robust functional programs in a principled and systematic way!

Well-Typed's Advanced Haskell

This two-day Haskell course gives you the chance to deepen your understanding and master some of Haskell's more advanced concepts.

In this course, you will learn all about:

-Haskell's evaluation mechanism and how to debug performance problems.
-Techniques and what data structures to use for getting the most idiomatic and best performing code.
-Abstractions offered for both concurrency and high-level, deterministic parallel programming, enabled by Haskell's explicit side effects.
