An actually informative thread that isn't just "crypto bad".

Do not walk. Run. Run away from freenode.

Hackage migration downtime will kick off in about an hour. status.haskell.org

So please think about who is willing to take on that task over a long period of time. It doesn't require 100% effort for a decade, just asking every semester "what one thing can we improve now", and relentlessly asking that question. ↵

#haskell package maintainers with stuff on Stackage, in case you haven't been properly notified, glance over this to see if any of your stuff has been removed in the nightly build switch from ghc 8.10 to ghc 9.0: stackage.org/diff/nightly-2…

While a lot of the mockery of cryptobros is probably on point, here's an interesting alternate perspective. protocol.com/fintech/black-…

One way #haskell stack users can try out ghc-9.2.1-rc1 is by using custom setup info in stack.yaml. Some simple instructions to get you started (updated for 9.2.1-rc1): gist.github.com/DanBurton/277f…

Type classes are duck typing for a statically typed language.

Is there a way for Docker & GHC to mix better than oil and water? Having Docker rebuild the whole package because one Haskell file has changed is really annoying.

Slack is down. status.slack.com is hilariously also down. Maybe don't put both of those eggs in the same basket, slack.

When signing an employment agreement, ask your employer to strike out wording that claims ownership over IP you create on your own time and equipment 🧵

I can't stand prompts like these that literally do not take "no" for an answer

Does #JavaScript have a similar feature to #Python's __getitem__ or #Ruby's method_missing ?

Copy/pasting & editing my tweet from the last time I updated this: One way #haskell stack users can try out ghc-9.4.1-rc1 is by using custom setup info in stack.yaml. Some simple instructions to get you started (updated for 9.4.1-rc1): gist.github.com/DanBurton/277f…
