Memory Managment in GHC Haskell

Join us for an exploration into Haskell's memory management system! Discover the inner workings of the Haskell runtime, including its automatic garbage collection process that efficiently frees up memory resources. We'll talk through a simplified version of a garbage collection algorithm, discuss how Haskell program data is organized in memory, and even take a peek at sections of the runtime implementation in C. There will be something for everyone, whether you're a seasoned Haskell developer or just curious about memory management.
