"Haste: Full-Stack Haskell for Non-PhD Candidates" by Erin Swenson-Healey and James Cooper

Erin Swenson-Healey and James Cooper demonstrate Haste, a Haskell-to-JavaScript compiler for building type-safe web applications.

Haste is a Haskell to Javascript compiler that enables programmers to build type safe web applications. This talk provides a tour of Haste including: Functional reactive programming DOM manipulation Integration with native Javascript libraries Built in RPC system that ensures type safety between the client and server Routing Interaction with LocalStorage Debugging tips Testing Although the examples are in Haskell, no prior Haskell knowledge is assumed, and some basics of the syntax will be included. Erin Swenson-Healey @lasericus After a stint in Honduras teaching web development with the Peace Corps, Erin landed in Santa Monica where he now writes (words) and codes (programs) for Carbon Five. He loves Seattle, arguing with software developers, and soccer (among other things). James Cooper @coopernurse James is currently a software engineer for Staff (staff.is/). He is the author of several open source projects including gorp (ORM for Go) and Barrister RPC (JSON-RPC implementation with schema validation). He enjoys beer, programming languages, soccer, and good espresso. He lives in Seattle with his lovely girlfriend and two cats.
