While we are on the sub­ject of Haskell , here is HAKYLL

It gen­er­ates sta­tic blogs. So instead of using Word­Press or the like, you write the arti­cle on your local machine, usu­ally in a markup of your choice and then com­pile t to sta­tic HTML and upload it to you site. Hakyll If you want to use another lan­guage to gen­er­ate the site then here is a Ruby based …

From Imper­a­tive to Func­tional: how to make the leap

For a num­ber of rea­sons func­tional lan­guages are mak­ing inroads into every­day pro­gram­ming. Although not inher­ently more com­pli­cated that pro­ce­dural lan­guages there seems to be a con­cep­tual pro­belm for the pro­ce­dural pro­gram­mer to make the jump to Func­tional. One of the more pop­u­lar func­tional lan­guages is Haskell and this is a good arti­cle on how to make the …

The Bayeux Whiteboards

Came across a new wrin­kle for issue solv­ing at a pre­vi­ous com­pany. Rahter than orga­niae, pri­ori­tise and sum­marise the prob­lems set they decided to write out each one on a white­board and then dis­cuss them all at the two daily stand ups.

Mes­sagePack

Mes­sagePack is an effi­cient binary seri­al­iza­tion for­mat. It lets you exchange data among mul­ti­ple lan­guages like JSON but it’s faster and smaller.

It has imple­men­ta­tions in Ruby …
