What we’re about
This group is for anyone interested in real world software development with Haskell. Although we occasionally talk about theory the primary focus of the group is getting work done with Haskell and sometimes other functional languages. All skill levels are welcome including programmers who have no prior exposure to Haskell or functional programming.

See all- Interpreting Lazy Functional LanguagesHolland & Hart LLP, Boulder, CO
Michael Hueschen will be presenting g-machine-hs: “A Haskell repo I wrote implementing the G-machine described in Efficient Compilation of Lazy Evaluation by Thomas Johnsson (SIGPLAN 1984). The G-machine is an approach to implementing relatively-fast interpreters for functional programs, through "graph reduction". I'll walk through the fundamental concepts in the G-machine, using DOT-generated graphics showing the code+stack at each step of execution. Hopefully, attendees will come away with an understanding of the basics of how lazy functional languages are interpreted. This could be useful in understanding how, for example, Haskell lazy evaluation works, and what "forcing" means, in a more experiential sense.”
There will be non-alcoholic beverages (courtesy H&H) and pizza, as well as time to socialize and discuss the Haskell & FP world in general.
If you have any projects or topics you’d like to share at a future event, please message the organizers. Any level of talk is welcome.
