Unboxing Haskell
Featuring Edward Kmett
Haskell is infamous for its ubiquitous support for laziness. But we do have some primitive unlifted types: Int#s, unboxed tuples, and now unlifted data declarations. It is kind of annoying that anything you go to do with them is a one-off hack. What would it take to lift the Prelude to support...

Tiny type tools
Featuring Brian McKenna
Tooling is one of the most important parts of choosing a programming language. The tooling available for functional programming type systems leaves a huge amount of untapped potential. We can perform algebra on types, so there should be a library for that. We can search by types, so there should...
