Note that the openflow protocol has been implemented in Haskell by Galois and Yale - http://hackage.haskell.org/package/nettle-openflow - and you can also configure openflow networks - http://hackage.haskell.org/package/nettle-netkit /

"Codes" is common in some sub-disciplines (eg HPC). Still sounds weird to my ears though.

great to see this coming from non-functional language folks (after years of banging out about it in Haskell land - http://ghcmutterings.wordpress.com/2009/10/06/parallelism-co... ) Of course, concurrency is not the end of things. Determini

That's not in the polymer paper, but its what FFTW is doing (and the ICC compiler that we relied on for the monte carlo work).

They come with GHC, but they're mostly not standardized. And there's more than 50 language extensions. They're not usually mentioned in texts, as they're usually necessary only for advanced user, or very small niches. However, if you're are

MLton has been mostly unmaintained for 5+ years - GHC has a performance consortium improving it ( llvm, new code gen, new register allocator, parallel GC)... I'd expect it to be a tie now for sequential code.

I think we're going to see some clever optimizing DSLs (a la FFTW) -- restricted languages for the kinds of embedded programs you write on such an architecture will be easier to optimize than general purpose languages. Particularly if they

OP wasn't aware of Debug.Trace: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/D... Otherwise, this seems pretty light on technical details -- and big on hyperbole -- "Scheme shares Haskell's unsuitability for production code"

Have you ever worked on a 1M line code base? Or with dozens (or hundreds!) of developers. Once the team gets big, or the code gets so big you can't hold it all in your head, any machine-enforced QC can have a major impact. (I'm working on

There are several million lines of code in Haskell on Hackage now - so any non-trivial Hackage-based app is going to pull in 100k+ lines. The current project I'm working on commercially has 600k lines of Haskell, though I expect we'll hit t

The Haskell ones were modeled on the OpenBSD ones, by the way. (I used to maintain the Haskell ecosystem in ports).

Starting in 2007 we started holding Haskell hackathons twice a year. They have been absolutely vital for building team cohesion in the sprawling open source efforts, and consistently produce good plans for the work that happens after we lea

I think it would be uncontroversial to say that optimized GHC Haskell (statically typed, compiled, optimized, native code) is always faster than current Erlang implementations (dynamically typed, interpreted, lightly optimized). For example
