7 News

2007-05-07

  • Atom: Hardware Description in Haskell. Tom Hawkins announced the release of Atom, a high-level hardware description language embedded in Haskell, compiles conditional term rewriting systems into conventional HDL.

  • The Monad.Reader: Issue 7. Wouter Swierstra announced the latest issue of The Monad.Reader. The Monad.Reader is a quarterly magazine about functional programming. It is less-formal than journal, but somehow more enduring than a wiki page or blog post.

  • HDBC: Haskell Database Connectivity. John Goerzen announced that HDBC 1.1.2 is now released. HDBC provides an abstraction layer between Haskell programs and SQL relational databases. This lets you write database code once, in Haskell, and have it work with any number of backend SQL databases.

  • FileManip: Expressive Filesystem Manipulation. Bryan O'Sullivan announced the FileManip package provides expressive functions and combinators for searching, matching, and manipulating files.

  • photoname: manipulate photos using EXIF data. Dino Morelli announced the release of photoname, a command-line utility for renaming and moving photo image files. The new folder location and naming are determined by two things: the photo shoot date information contained within the file's EXIF tags and the usually-camera-assigned serial number, often appearing in the filename.

  • RSA-Haskell: Command-line Cryptography. David Sankel announced the release of RSA-Haskell, a collection of command-line cryptography tools and a cryptography library written in Haskell. It is intended to be useful to anyone who wants to secure files or communications or who wants to incorporate cryptography in their Haskell application.

  • Haskell modes for Vim. Claus Reinke summarised the various Haskell/Vim support currently available

  • French Translation of Gentle Introduction to H98. The haskell-fr team announced a completed a translation into French of the 'Gentle Introduction to Haskell'.
