  • Haskell, JS, and WebDev?
    3 projects | /r/haskell | 12 Jan 2023
    As I grew up on a Macintosh, I was always interested in graphical user interfaces. In my free time, I'm currently working on refreshing my reactive-banana library so that it will hopefully work well with the upcoming JavaScript backend. (The library relies on a few non-trivial garbage collector features, which were not implemented in GHCJS a decade ago. Essentially, I ended up with a program that gave different results, depending on whether it was compiled with GHC native or with GHCJS. 😅)
  • Any haskell-like languages with native FRP?
    1 project | /r/haskell | 12 Mar 2022
    Another FRP implementation that I think is quite simple is reactive-banana. Heinrich recently refactored the module hierarchy to stratify it based on low-level, mid-level and high-level abstractions: https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/reactive-banana/tree/master/reactive-banana/src/Reactive/Banana/Prim
  • Applicatives should usually implement Semigroup and Monoid

    I agree! Having foldMap be available in a monadic context is a big win - here's an example of me asking for it in reactive-banana, along with a motivating example - https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/reactive-banana/issues/222. Library authors, please consider adding these instances - your users will thank you!
  • How to prevent a deadlock in reactive-banana with event-switching? (Exception: thread blocked indefinitely in an MVar operation)
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 1 Aug 2021
    There are some examples that also use event-switching, like https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/reactive-banana/blob/master/reactive-banana-wx/src/BarTab.hs , which also seems to use execute. They use <$ though instead of <$>:
