Haskell Communities and Activities Report, 21st edition. An overview
Haskell Communities and Activities Report is a status report on Haskell community as a whole. It’s released twice a year and contains a whole bunch of interesting stuff. I’ve just read the most recent (November 2011) report. Here’s an overview of things I’ve found the most interesting:
There’s a Haskell plugin for Eclipse. So far I’ve been using Emacs with Haskell mode but I’d be happy to see a decent plugin for Eclipse. I’ll be testing it to see how it works.
At the same time I’m planning to enhance my Haskell experience in Emacs by using ghc-mod
The Monad Reader is a web magazine about Haskell.
There is a Debian Haskell Group. I’ve been considering switching to Debian for some time now and it’s good to know there is a good Haskell support for Debian (although I’d probably still stick to the precompiled binaries available from GHC site).
HEAT is The Haskell Educational Advancement Tool. I’ll have to look into it and see if it has a good educational potential (for teaching others, not myself).
There is a Haskell Natural Language Processing community.
Ericsson together with two universities (one in Sweden, one in Hungary) develops Feldspar: Functional Embedded Language for Digital Signal Processing and Parallelism. Find out more.
If you want to do bioinformatics stuff in Haskell then Biohaskell might be of interest to you.
There’s a lot more of in the report: games, web applications, compilers, practical applications of Haskell, research and user groups. You can read the whole report here.
