About us
We are meeting once a month to share knowledge of and experience with Haskell.
Each time, one of us presents a topic, be it a library, a programming technique, development tools, or internals of GHC or other implementations. The format varies depending on the topic and the presenter between hands-on workshops, discussions and lectures.
Prior knowledge certainly helps, but we definitely don't require you to be an expert to join and/or to present a topic. The only thing that is important is that you are interested in Haskell and that you are eager to learn more.
HaskellerZ is organized by the Zurich Friends of Haskell.
Note that we've recently had to turn on moderator approval for new members. This is solely to deal with a relentless wave of spam that has hit Meetup; and everyone is still welcome to join.

Olivier Lischer: Linear Haskell (Joint Meetup with "Papers We Love")
ETH Zurich HG G26.5, Rämistrasse 101, Zürich, CHThe paper "Linear Haskell - Practical Linearity in a Higher-Order Polymorphic Language", presents how the Haskell type system can be extended to support linear types.
While Haskell's type system is already considered strong, linear types restricts the number of valid programs further. Not only are there more invalid programs, but "use-after-free" errors are also detected by the compiler, thereby eliminating another category of errors.
This talk will give an introduction into linear logic, linear types, and how they work in the proposed Haskell implementation.
This is a joint talk with the Zurich chapter of "Papers We Love". This talk follows the ZuriHac 2027 organisation kickoff meeting that starts at 18h00 in the same room, which everyone is welcome to attend.
