Issue 134 - October 10, 2009<br>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Welcome to issue 134 of HWN, a newsletter covering developments in the<br>
[1]Haskell community.<br>
<br>
What with Don Stewart's [2]call to [3]arms to lead Haskell to conquest<br>
over (E)DSL-land, I've once again tried to highlight discussion of<br>
EDSL's this week. Fortunately, it was actually more difficult choosing<br>
what _not_ to include this week, since there was so much discussion<br>
about DSLs and Syntax extensions (a related notion, in my opinion).<br>
Also, this week Bryan O'Sullivan put his Criterion Library to good use<br>
on the `text` package, leading to [4]code which is more than ten times<br>
faster than before! With all this fantastic news, I won't hold you up<br>
any longer, Haskellers, the Haskell Weekly News!<br>
<br>
Announcements<br>
<br>
CfPart: FMICS 2009, 2-3 November 2009, Final Call. FMICS 2009 workshop<br>
chair [5]announced the final call for particpaction for FMICS 2009<br>
<br>
ICFP videos now available. Wouter Swierstra [6]announced the<br>
availablity of videos from the International Conference on Functional<br>
Programming (ICFP)<br>
<br>
GPipe-1.0.0: A functional graphics API for programmable GPUs. Tobias<br>
Bexelius [7]announced the first release of GPie, a functional graphics<br>
API for programmable GPUs.<br>
<br>
text 0.5, a major revision of the Unicode text library. Bryan<br>
O'Sullivan [8]announced a new, major version of the text package. New<br>
API features, and huge improvments in speed, as Bryan says, 'Get it<br>
while it's fresh on Hackage, folks!'<br>
<br>
vty-ui 0.2. Jonathan Daugherty [9]announced a new version of the vty-ui<br>
package, with fewer bugs, more widgets, and cleaner code due to new<br>
more powerful abstractions.<br>
<br>
htzaar-0.0.1. Tom Hawkins [10]announced HTZAAR, a Haskell<br>
implementation of TZAAR<br>
<br>
Graphalyze-0.8.0.0 and SourceGraph-0.5.5.0. Ivan Lazar Miljenovic<br>
[11]announced To keep this editor happy, Ivan released two new packaged<br>
in one announcement. This time, he's added Legend support to<br>
Graphalyze, but also many new changes to SourceGraph, including a<br>
legend so you can see what all the symbols mean, Better color support,<br>
and much more.<br>
<br>
TxtSushi 0.4.0. Keith Sheppard [12]announced a new version of TxtSushi,<br>
a set of command line utilities for processing CSV and TSV files.<br>
<br>
Discussion<br>
<br>
Applicative do? Philippa Cowderoy [13]asked about a `do` like syntax<br>
for Applicative functors.<br>
<br>
How to add use custom preprocessor in cabal. Bernd Brassel [14]asked<br>
how to add a custom preprocessor to the build chain of a cabal file.<br>
<br>
On DSLs - one last time. Gunther Schmidt [15]summarized his impressions<br>
on al the recent discussion of DSLs<br>
<br>
What is a DSL? Oleg [16]offered some insight into different<br>
[17]properties that can be part of a single tagless framework. He also<br>
pointed to some slides and other materials such as a website [18]here<br>
and slides [19]here about DSL implementations and definitions.<br>
<br>
What is a DSL? Gunther Schmidt [20]posed the question, 'What is a DSL',<br>
and with some further questions added by yours truly, a lively<br>
discussion about the definition of a DSL ensued.<br>
<br>
Finally tagless - stuck with implementation of 'lam'. Gunther Schmidt<br>
[21]asked another question about Finally Tagless DSLs and resolving an<br>
issue with the implementation of 'lam'<br>
