IRC Channels

The IRC channel can be an excellent place to learn more about Haskell, and to just keep in the loop on new things in the Haskell world. Many new developments in the Haskell world first appear on the IRC channel. Haskell channels have been moving from freenode and are now mainly established on libera.chat.

Point your IRC client to irc.libera.chat:6697 (TLS) and then join the #haskell channel (or connect via your web browser). Check the guides for more connection information.

Logs

Plain text logs for #haskell from before the move to libera.chat (2021) are available at tunes.
