I’m on the latest episode of the @haskellinterlude.bsky.social talking about GHC, the FFI, type families, parallel programming in Haskell and also about the relationship of Haskell and Swift: https://haskell.foundation/podcast/72/
Manuel Chakravarty
In this episode, we talk to Manuel Chakravarty - specifically, his work on the ghc backend such as data-parallel Haskell and the FFI and how that work segued into type system design. We also discussed Manuel's perspective on Haskell from the language design of Swift.

It started as a toy, but Empire has turned into the most complex package I've worked on. Macros, parameter packs, very tricky concurrency and generics. And now I'm looking at lifetimes and Span. Don't fully understand them yet, but I now get why it exists.

Appeals Court Subtly Lets The Trump Administration Know It’s Just Being Racist By Demanding An End To Birthright Citizenship
It's not enough to go after the "worst of the worst." It was never a sustainable effort, what with migrants committing fewer crimes than natural citizens. The attempt to rid the country of as many non-white people as possible under Trump always had to go bigger. It has become ICE raiding swap meets and Home Depot parking lots because that's where the non-whites are at.

(It’s a timetable app for vocational students in Lower Saxony, and it’s payed so a bit easier, schools currently start here so that’s why, ranked before but never that high.)
