Status/May11
v19 v20 86 86 * '''Jeff Epstein''', in collaboration with Andrew Black, has implemented a library that brings Erlang's programming model to Haskell programmers. In particular, you can write a Haskell program that runs on a cluster of machines that do not share memory. It is all based on a modest but powerful language extension that makes it possible for a programmer to work with "static" functions; that is, ones consisting of pure code with no free variables. The paper that describes all this is called "Haskell for the cloud" [[http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/parallel/ Cloud]]. 87 87 88 * '''Max Bolingbroke''' continues his !PhD work on supercompilation, with a nice new paper [[ ImprovingSupercompilation]]. The plan is to make his supercompiler part of GHC, over the next year or so.88 * '''Max Bolingbroke''' continues his !PhD work on supercompilation, with a nice new paper [[http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/supercompilation/ ImprovingSupercompilation]].
