Smallpt-hs: Porting a Raytracer's Performance to Haskell

Featuring davean scies and Siddharth Bhat

Let's tune a Haskell program to be as fast as C! (1) Begin with smallpt, a 100 line C raytracer that we naively port to Haskell. (2) balk at the 5x performance slowdown. (3) Roll up our sleeves. (4) Performance parity!

Practical Property Testing

Featuring Tom Sydney Kerckhove

In this talk Tom Sydney Kerckhove discusses how to implement proper property testing in Haskell. It moves way beyond the classic toy examples and examined real-world scenarios, taking a deep-dive into how to make property tests interact with web services or database systems.

Stronger Types! : A Brief Introduction to Refinement Types and Dependent Types (Lightning Talk)

Featuring Eric Bond

Haskell is known for its strong static typing but there are even stronger typing disciplines: Refinement Types and Dependent Types. In this lightning talk Eric Bond offers a brief introduction to both.

Building a Web Library Using Super Hard Haskell

Featuring Marcin Rzeźnicki

Have you heard of the Simple Haskell initiative? They've got a point, right? Safety, simplicity, Haskell'98 with maybe some benign extensions. You better hear what you are missing and I'll tell you — you're missing a lot

Simplifying Constraint Solving in GHC

Featuring Richard Eisenberg

This example-driven talk focuses on GHC constraint solver. You'll get a glimpse of how GHC works under the hood, learn why it's so hard to get good error messages, and get a sense for the kinds of problems that exist in GHC's type checker.

User Friendly Optics

Featuring Andrzej Rybczak

In this talk, Andrzej presents the optics library and discusses some key differences from the lens library that lead to better user experience. He'll also share how to use it to solve the "Haskell record problem" in a satisfactory way.

Agile Functional Data Pipeline in Haskell: A Case Study of Multicloud API Binding

Featuring Michał Gajda

In this case study, Michał discusses making a data pipeline for multicloud API bindings in Haskell for analysis and Python for scraping. He'll introduce a few rules settled on along the way that allow for blinding fast development of agile data analytics.

Smash you some Haskell on a Minikube

Featuring Mateusz Curylo

To get good performance for your Haskell microservice on Kubernetes you need the correct deployment, compiler and runtime configuration. Rational thinking is not good enough here, so let us empirically test it out.

Winter is Coming – Even Faster

Featuring Joachim Breitner

Winter is a WebAssembly interpreter. It was too slow for my use-case, so this is the tale of how I made it 700 faster, with 7 different optimizations.
