Async Exception Handling in Haskell

Michael Snoyman explains how exceptions work in Haskell and provides practical guidelines for writing asynchronous exception-safe code.

Many programming languages have exceptions. In order to write programs correctly in such languages, you need to write exception-safe code. This requirement applies to Haskell as well. However, in Haskell, we have an extra twist: asynchronous exceptions, which can be thrown to any thread at any time. In this webinar, we're going to talk about: How exceptions work in Haskell What it means to be "async exception safe," Give practical guidelines—with lots of examples Hosted by: Michael Snoyman, VP of Engineering
