  • Is this meta-authentication system possible in Haskell
    1 project | /r/haskell | 10 Apr 2022
    If you want me to go into more detail after you've given it a go, let me know. There are a few free monad libraries out there. I think the best place to start is https://hackage.haskell.org/package/free, because it is the least cushy library, and so you can learn how they work internally etc. Later you might try algebraic effects as a backup.
  • Stack-safety for free?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 18 Nov 2021
    That's an awesome tagline! I have a Haskell background and was alluding to "Monads for free" from the free package when picking the title "Stack-safety for free?" Alluding to Rust's "fearless concurrency" seems so much more appropriate though.
  • [ANN] merge, cropty, and trust-chain
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 18 Sep 2021
    https://hackage.haskell.org/package/trust-chain is a little more out there, but the most interesting to me personally. There are two ways to think about it, each useful to different audiences. On one hand, it can be seen as a tree where the node structure and leaf type are type level parameters, and every internal node is signed by the private key corresponding to the public key at that node. In Haskell, it can be seen as a free monad where every layer is signed in that same way.
