Keynote: Dependent Types in Haskell
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
In this talk, Stephanie will discuss the influence of dependent types on the design of GHC and on the practice of Haskell programmers. In particular, she will walk through an extended example and use it to analyze what it means to program with dependent types in Haskell. Throughout, Stephanie will discuss what she has learnt from this experiment in language design: what works now, what doesn't work yet, and what surprised her along the way.
