London Haskell Meetup - September
Calling all Londoners (and people who can get to London)!
On Thursday 17th of September, we will be running a pair of talks at the Permutive offices.
If you're interested, sign up to the event!
The Talks
Learn to Rel8 by Teo Camarasu
Rel8 is a Haskell library for writing PostgreSQL statements, built on top of opaleye. It mirrors Haskell syntax and idioms as much as possible to allow writing SQL in a way that is familiar and concise without sacrificing good error messages. This talk will give a practical introduction to rel8: building up from simple examples to some of its more advanced features like aggregations.
Past, Present and Future of the Haskell Language Report by David Binder
In this talk I am going to take a look at how we got to the current Haskell report, how it changed over the decades, and present the work we are currently undertaking to update it. I will present my own ideas on what the role of the language report can be going forward, but we will hopefully also discuss how the language report can fit with the GHC and CLC proposal processes to document and specify the language we love to use.
What else?

May go to the pub afterwards

What next?
This is an attempt at bringing a regular Haskell event to London, so please be patient with us! We're hoping to run more events in future, so your feedback is greatly appreciated. Look out for our October event!
