DocCharm automates help center updates by watching GitHub repositories and using AI to suggest article revisions or drafts when features change, with every suggestion entering a human review queue bef…
Eduardo Bellani argues that deep knowledge of programming languages remains essential in the age of AI-assisted coding because languages embody fundamental ideas about structuring thought and managing…
DocCharm, a new tool that automatically keeps help centers up to date by monitoring GitHub pull requests, was launched on Hacker News. The tool uses AI to suggest updates to existing articles or draft…
A Haskell beginner encountered unexpected behavior in a conditional expression due to operator precedence, where `x && y == False` was parsed as `x && (y == False)` instead of `(x && y) == False`. The…
A developer published ghcid-check, a small wrapper script around ghcid that provides programmatic fast feedback for Haskell coding agents, allowing users to launch a ghcid process with `ghcid-check --…
Scarf, a software platform that relied on Haskell for seven years, is migrating to Python because Haskell's slow compilation and tooling cannot keep pace with AI-assisted development, founder Avi Pres…
Scarf founder Avi Press announced the company is shifting new development from Haskell to Python, citing Haskell's slow adaptation to AI-assisted development. Press warned that Haskell is "in real dan…
Avi Press, chair of the Haskell Foundation board, moved Scarf's production backend off Haskell after seven years, citing that AI coding agents made slow compilation economically unbearable. Press's po…
Scarf, a developer tools company, is migrating its core web API from Haskell to Python after seven years, citing the high cost of Haskell's slow compilation in an era of AI-generated code and agentic …
Scarf, a cash-flow-positive software company, is moving away from Haskell after seven years of production use, citing slow feedback loops and development costs. The company will retain Haskell for its…
Scrive, a legaltech company in the e-signing space, is hiring a Senior/Staff Haskell Developer for a fully remote position within the EU/EEA. The role requires 8+ years of professional experience with…
A developer has published a mechanized type inference algorithm for biased record concatenation, based on Mitchell Wand's 1991 paper, to address challenges in type-checking the Nix language. The algor…
Maintainers using generative AI to write library code are introducing unprecedented quality, legal, and maintenance risks into the open-source supply chain, as downstream projects face broken changes,…
A Haskell developer explains that strictness analysis, a denotational concept, does not guarantee a function evaluates its argument on every code path, as demonstrated by the function \x y -> x `seq` …
A team used PureScript and Haskell to optimize a large-scale distributed workflow engine, reducing end-to-end latency from 60 seconds to under 6 seconds. By applying functional programming principles …
MicroHs, a Haskell compiler, is being used in practical applications including keyboard firmware and interactive notebooks, demonstrating its growing utility beyond theoretical use. Developers report …
A developer explains the basics of type inference for anonymous records, arguing that good type inference for such records is a key missing feature in statically typed languages. The post introduces t…
MatX, an AI chip startup, is hiring a Bluespec Design Engineer, seeking Haskell developers even without hardware experience. The role is based in Mountain View with hybrid requirements for US candidat…
After two years of using OCaml to rewrite the Austral compiler, the author shares a critical assessment of the language, highlighting its syntactic flaws and pragmatic shortcomings while acknowledging…
Christian, an engineer at Tweag, released the first version of tricorder, a new development tool for Haskell that serves as a standalone replacement for ghcid or ghciwatch. The tool features a CLI tha…
