Introduction to Cloud Haskell. An approach to distributed programming in Haskell

Alen Ribic will give us an introduction to Cloud Haskell.

Cloud Haskell is a domain-specific language for developing programs for a distributed computing environment. Implemented as a shallow embedding in Haskell, it provides a message passing communication model, inspired by Erlang, without introducing incompatibility with Haskell’s established shared-memory concurrency.

Alan Ribic is a programmer, currently working for Oracle.
His current area of interest is in understanding complexity of large software systems. Focus is on difficulty of testing and informal reasoning rather than computational complexity.
