Here are some recordings from my birthday session and a recent session. Both feature Devon DeJohn on the guitar. The 8/16 session was sans Evan, who was busy with his anniversary.

I’ve been looking for a way to do the pieces of I/O that are well-defined in the framework of FRP. For example, fileContents “someFile” is a perfectly good function of time, why should we be forced to drop into the semantic fuzziness of the IO monad to get it?
Well, after a long talk [...]

Dan Piponi and Andrej Bauer have written about computable reals and their relationship to continuity. Those articles enlightened me, but only by way of example. Each of them constructed a representation for real numbers, and then showed that all computable functions are continuous on that representation.
Today, I will show that all functions are [...]

Someone in the #haskell IRC channel mentioned the “reverse state monad” explaining that it used the state from the next computation and passed it to the previous one. Well, I just had to try this!
First, a demonstration: we will compute the fibonacci numbers by starting with them and mapping them back to the empty [...]

The other day I had an idea for a game which required a traditionalish user interface (text boxes, a grid of checkboxes, …). But I’m addicted to Haskell at the moment, so I was not okay with doing it in C#, my usual GUI fallback. Upon scouring hackage for a GUI widget [...]
