Effect Systems Reading Group (Remote)
Effect Systems Reading Group was a reading group to discuss effect systems in functional programming languages.
Topics included - What is an “Effect System”? Why do they matter, what is the motivation and the theory behind them. How do you implement them in Functional Programming languages?
The online meetup took place once every two weeks on Saturdays.
The FPIndia Telegram group has a dedicated channel to discuss material related to this reading group. You can participate in the discussion there even if you miss the online meetup.
These meetups may be revived in the future if there’s enough interest.
Algorithm Design with Haskell Reading Group (Remote)
Algorithms Meetup Group was a reading group to discuss algorithms and data structure design in Haskell (and other functional programming languages).
Topics included - What are the principles of designing pure functional algorithms? How do we implement them, and optimise them. Theoretical as well as practical concerns.
The meetups started by by going through the “Algorithm Design with Haskell” book by Richard Bird and Jeremy Gibbons. And the online meetups took place once every two weeks on Saturdays.
The FPIndia Telegram group has a dedicated channel called “Algorithms Meetup” to discuss material related to this reading group. You can participate in the discussion there even if you miss the online meetup.
