Let’s talk about exceptions. Programs do a thing successfully all the time, except sometimes when things didn’t work out. So we have “exceptions”, which, like anything fun in programming languages, was invented in Lisp in the 60’s . They’re not perfect in Haskell. They’re not perfect in any language, really. We’re always making adjustments to […]
We’re big fans of safety-focused languages at FP Complete. As our previous blog post comparing Rust and Haskell made clear, we think both of these are great languages. A recurring theme we have for both internal and client projects is: which language should we use? The general guidelines in that blog post apply: If there’s […]
Our webinars are continuing to be as popular as ever and Tom Sydney Kerckhove’s (Tech Lead at FP Complete) webinar on “Building Terminal User Interfaces with Haskell” was no exception. We had 426 people registered for the event which aired on Wednesday, November 28th at 10:00 am PST. If you tuned in live you would […]
FP Complete is known for our best-in-class DevOps automation tooling in addition to Haskell. We use industry standards like Kubernetes and Docker. We’re always looking for new developments in software that help us empower our clients. Rust is an up-and-coming programming language whose history starts in 2010. Rust has much overlap in its strengths with […]
Our monthly webinar series is really starting to take off and judging by the registration numbers we might be forced into allowing more than 500 people to register for our next webinar which could be about Rust – Don’t hold us to that 😉 For Roman’s, Development Workflows in Haskell, we had 434 registrants which […]
The results are in!! The powerful Haskell community includes researchers who advance the language, and users who apply the language to solve real-world problems. Recently 1100 people took the time to respond to FP Complete’s Haskell User Survey. Here are the key results. See the full report by clicking here. Executive Summary Haskell is thriving […]
Alternative title: “ResourceT considered harmful” Summary: ResourceT is a great tool, used to solve real problems when dealing with constrained resources and runtime exceptions. However, in the wild, it is often overused for situations where its full power isn’t needed. If you want more information on ResourceT, check out its README.md. How do you copy […]
Yesod is one of the most popular web frameworks in the Haskell land. This post will explore creating a sample Postgres based Yesod web application and then deploying it to Kubernetes cluster. We will create a Helm chart for doing our kubernetes release. Note that the entire source lives here: Sample yesod application Helm chart […]
Deploying software can certainly have its challenges, but Deni Burtovic walks you through everything you need to know when it comes to deploying Haskell applications with Kubernetes. As you watch the webinar, we also encourage you to follow along by viewing the presentation which can be found here – Deploying Haskell Apps with Kubernetes. About […]
One fantastic aspect of Haskell is that it offers various tools that allow different development workflows. In this blog post, we are going to focus on four different workflows to develop Haskell. These are techniques that the FP Complete team themselves use regularly and we wanted to share them with our readers. Auto-compile on save […]
