16.45 Discussion: The Future of Haskell
  • Open Topics: Discussion Starters wanted! (see below)
  • Haskell and Dependent Types

Discussion Starters Sought!

To encourage a live-topic debate inspired by the workshop itself, we seek impromptu discussion starters for the Future of Haskell discussion. For example, one sentence "fireworks" such as controversial assertions or challenging questions. Unsolved problems. Friendly rebuttals of any (or all!) of the workshop papers. Short and pithy (at most 5 minutes, 2 slides) presentations of raw ideas for future Haskell-related work.

If you would like to contribute, approach either the Discussion Chair (Daan Leijen) or the Workshop Chair (Henrik Nilsson) during any of the breaks and briefly explain what you would like to say. If necessary, as there might not be time for all who would like to speak, the Discussion Chair will prioritize. Those who are selected will then be invited to give their discussion starter at some suitable point during the discussion session.
