#formalmethods

If you’re a #haskell user or a proponent of #functionalprogramming please consider donating to the #Purescript project to keep it alive.

It’s a fairly obscure project but, IMO, it is THE language for web #frontend.

On top of that, the backend was recently rewritten in #ChezScheme which tends to be very popular choice in the #formalmethods world due to its rigor.

I see #ghcjs nipping at its heels but IMO, PS will always be a more bespoke and opinionated tool.

*Last Call*

I have a #PhD position for UK students, available with myself and @bentnib

This project will be looking at developing new methods for asserting the resilience of existing communicating systems by developing new static analysis methods derived from advanced programming language research.

*Hard Deadline*: Wednesday 16th April 2025

You will belong to @StrathCyber and @mspstrath, as well as gaining access to @spli

strath.ac.uk/studywithus/postg

(Ignore the deadline on the advert)

Please spread the words.

The other thing that I really enjoyed in my industry job is to really think that, hey, the skills that we have as PL people and as formal methods, functional programming, these sorts of things, they are relevant. It’s like people say that when you get into industry, these things are not important. And I think that’s a total misconception. It’s a total lie because, of course, if you don’t know what you can do with a nice systematic approach, of course, you don’t end up doing it, and everything becomes just another hack. - Farhad Mehta – the Haskell Interlude Podcast

haskell.foundationFarhad MehtaIn this episode, Andres Löh and Mike Sperber are joined by Farhad Mehta, a professor at OST Rapperswil, and one of the organizers of ZuriHac. Farhad tells us about formal methods, building tunnels, the importance of education, and the complicated relationship between academia and industry.
