José Manuel Calderón Trilla posted the Announcing Ecosystem Partnerships in our community’s Discourse instance.
We sat down with Phil Wadler, one of the most influential folks in the Haskell community, functional programming, and programming languages, responsible for type classes, monads, and much more. We take a stroll down memory lane, starting from Haskell’s inception. We talked about the difference between research and Phil’s work on impactful industrial projects and standards - specifically XML and the design of generics in Java, as well as Phll’s teaching at the University of Edinburgh using Agda.. Phil is a fountain of great ideas and stories, and this conversation could have gone on for hours. As it is, we hope you enjoy the hour that we had as much as we did.

Watch Simon Peyton Jones announce the Haskell Foundation at the Haskell eXchange conference on November 4, 2020.
In this keynote, Simon talks about the Haskell Foundation's launch and its goals. At the end, he is joined by a panel of HF volunteers to take questions from the audience.
Haskell embodies a radical and elegant attack on the entire enterprise of writing software. It profoundly influences the world of software for the better.
Ideas that guide our every decision
Haskell’s design puts principle ahead of expediency by cleaving closely to the principles of purely functional programming.
All Haskell Foundation efforts are open source.
HF augments, celebrates, and coordinates the contributions and leadership of Haskell’s vibrant community.
For many, Haskell is more a way of life than a programming language. All are welcome, all can contribute. To this end we have adopted the Haskell Guidelines For Respectful Communication.
All technical decisions related to HF’s open source projects are proposed and debated in public.
The Haskell Foundation category in the Haskell Discourse is where we make official announcements, and have discussions with the community.
Official communication channel for HF Board members, the archive is publicly available.
