had a bit too many heinekens at a zurich music festival last night. this is very easy as a belgian since the widely accepted correct amount of heinekens to have is zero

from our first replay a year and a half later: level 27 wasn't nearly so bad this time. we might only have to do this a few more years until we properly understand it :3

had a great time at MuniHac seeing my haskell friends and meeting new ones! I hacked on Arsalan's GSoC project (github.com/arsalan0c/cdp-…) which was a lot of fun. it allows you to automate many tedious but important tasks like checking gabby's twitter every 10secs

The Haskell homepage now lists a single recommended way of installing Haskell. This makes things a lot less confusing for beginners and unblocks many other improvements. Big kudos to Tom Ellis for making this happen!

ZuriHac 2023 will take place 10-12 June at the same great location as last year! We have an amazing speaker line-up for this year and there'll even be a co-located GHC event! 🥳💻 More info and (free!) registration at zfoh.ch/zurihac2023/

Summer of Haskell 2023 has begun on a positive note. Those involved will be tackling nine different #Haskell projects. You can find more information about the program in the full announcement at summer.haskell.org/news/2023-05-1….

We are now live with Alexis King talking about delimited continuations! 🤩 youtube.com/watch?v=aaApZh…

wrote a blogpost about using Haskell's laziness to implement a single-pass layout algorithm: jaspervdj.be/posts/2023-07-…

Added "proper" support for speaker notes to patat. Pretty happy with how simple the idea is! No need to practice slides anymore, just scribble down some comments and call it a day 😎

added slide transition effects to patat github.com/jaspervdj/pata…

have been playing with Scheme a bit. people always make fun of the parentheses and I think that's a bit sad because the caadar/caadddr/... stuff is way funnier

I believe I fix most of the annoying bugs in Haskell websockets library except for the "not enough bytes" that I still don't have a reliable way to reproduce. If someone does, let me know and I'll fix it!

I'm proud to announce my new book: Soar with Haskell. I've packed 20+ years of programming, teaching and researching Haskell in this book to help you take off.🦅 packtpub.com/product/soar-w… amazon.com/Soar-Haskell-b… #haskell

Registration for ZuriHac 2024 is now open! On 8-10 of June, we will host amazing talks from Ningning Xie, Alex McLean, Ivan Perez, Mary Sheeran and much more at our beautiful location at OST informatik. More info at: zfoh.ch/zurihac2024/

Excited and horrified to share my latest side project, an esoteric graphical functional language: jaspervdj.be/turnstyle/
