The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Missing specialisation warning
I'm extending https://github.com/tweag/monad-bayes, which had it already, not sure where from. To be fair, it only had it in "dev" mode. Here's the flags in the cabal file:

Call for statistical problems for monad-bayes
So this summer I'll be working as part of a Tweag fellowship (https://www.tweag.io/blog/2020-02-14-os-fellowship/) on extending the Bayesian inference and probabilistic programming library monad-bayes (https://github.com/tweag/monad-bayes). It's a super nice library, and my goal is to make it much more user friendly (see these draft docs for example: https://monad-bayes.netlify.app/).

Basic questions about GHC options
These questions are pretty basic, but I'm having a hard time making sure I'm doing things right. I have a .cabal file which I want to change in order to enable e.g. threading and optimization (https://github.com/tweag/monad-bayes/blob/master/monad-bayes.cabal). Looking at it, I don't see -O2 or -threading anywhere, so am I right in thinking those things aren't happening, or am I looking in the wrong place?

Parallel arrays
Thanks so much! Streamly seems like a good idea. I'll almost certainly follow up with more detailed questions after trying some things, but just for context for now, here's the code I'm trying to modify: https://github.com/tweag/monad-bayes/blob/master/src/Control/Monad/Bayes/Population.hs .

RunWithScissors() (2009)
The documentation is itself fairly funny, for those who don’t care to click ahead:
> This "function" has a superficial similarity to ‘unsafePerformIO’ but it is in fact a malevolent agent of chaos. It unpicks the seams of reality (and the IO monad) so that the normal rules no longer apply. It lulls you into thinking it is reasonable, but when you are not looking it stabs you in the back and aliases all of your mutable buffers. The carcass of many a seasoned Haskell programmer lie strewn at its feet.

Monthly Hask Anything (July 2022)
If you bring in efficient strings from bytestring, densely packed arrays from vector, and an in-place sort from vector-algorithms, you can bring it down to 275ms (uses 19MB of mem).

I've opened https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/issues/455 so the situation can be improved. You're very welcome to chime in on the discussion or to contribute some of the missing documentation yourself! :)

Dragging Haskell Kicking and Screaming into the Century of the Fruitbat :: Reasonably Polymorphic
Well, ByteString in particular should not have an IsString instance in a new report. That's pretty clear by https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/issues/140 : the concensus is that there is no good solution right now, but it should not have gotten an IsString instance in the first place. If a theoretical new Haskell Report 202x includes OverloadedStrings (as it should) to handle string literals analogously to numeric literals, I'd expect it to not give ByteString (which is really just a collection of octets) an IsString instance, with all it's issues and rattail due to the encoding question being implicitized.

How can Haskell programmers tolerate Space Leaks?
Standard streaming libraries. They are being written by people that make the effort to understand performance and I have a hope that they make sure their streams run in linear space under any optimizations. It is curious and unsettling that we have standard lazy text and byte streams at the same time — and the default lazy lists, of course. I have been doing some work on byte streams and what I found out is that there is no way to check that your folds are actually space constant even if the value in question is a primitive, like say a byte — thunks may explode and then collapse over the run time of a single computation, defying any effort at inspection.
