Jon Coens: Hotswapping Haskell

Jon Coens will talk about how Facebook hotswaps Haskell code using GHC's linker. He'll walk through a demo and the libraries involved, as well as some of the motivations behind it.

The libraries are available on GitHub: https://github.com/fbsamples/ghc-hotswap

Jon Coens also wrote a post about the same subject on Simon Marlow's blog:

------

The building is right across the street from the Sunnyvale Caltrain station.

We will have someone in the lobby to let you in until about 7:00, when the talk will start. After, 7:00 please leave a comment here, or text 408-755-5645 and we can send someone to let you in.

Please note that there is free 3hr street and garage available parking near the building. However, you can NOT park where there are gates and/or ticket machines controlling access to the garages.

If you park in the garage (or walk through the garage), you can take the garage elevator to the 1st floor of building 100 and then take the building elevators to the 2nd floor. (The garage elevators will be open late, you can also get into the building this way if you can't get a hold of one of us.)
