Learn Haskell on Project Euler problems
a project by mvidner
Updated over 6 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.

I am a beginner: I have read 1½ books on Haskell. I want to practice.

Haskell is a purely functional, lazily evaluated, strongly typed (with inference) language.

Project Euler is a set of problems combining mathematics and programming. Of the 500 problems published so far I have solved 25. For the easy problems, advanced math is easily avoided by using advanced CPUs; but (re)learning bits of math is fun too.

  • Solve some more problems
  • Write readable code
  • Follow a style guide
  • Document the libraries (with Haddock)
  • Have tests to catch bugs in refactoring. Try:
    • Doctest
    • HUnit
    • HSpec
    • QuickCheck (which was the tipping point for me to seriously try Haskell)
  • Benchmark
  • Profile
  • Package (with Cabal)

The result will be a public Git repository with code and a diary to summarize things learned.

    GHC-9.14 and split Hadrian from GHC build by osukup

    Description

    Prepare openSUSE Tumbleweed project for new GHC Haskell compiler and separate builder (Hadrian) from GHC build

    Goals

    • have GHC-9.14 project with working compiler and if possible filled with packageset
    • have Hadrian in own package built with bootstrap compiler to separate Hadrian bootstrap from ghc bootstrap

    Learn hot air soldering for GBA-CPU and RAM transfer by robert.richardson

    Description

    I want to practice hot‑air soldering to then transfer a Game Boy Advance CPU and RAM from a damaged unit onto a new "custom" motherboard.

    Goals

    I want to first learn the hot air soldering fundamentals by removing a couple of components from already broken electronics.

    My final goal for the project would be to de-solder the CPU/RAM units of a damaged Game Boy Advance motherboard and re-solder them onto a new "custom" one.

    If anyone here wants to also try hot-air-soldering, feel free to come by the NBG office. I plan to do this on Tuesday and/or maybe Wednesday. If you would like to join but are only able to on another day, let me know.

    Resources

    I basically already have everything needed, except maybe for the broken electronics to test on, but i'm sure i'll find something until Hackweek starts.

    toki pona programing language by dgarcia

    Description

    Toki Pona is a philosophical and artistic constructed language designed for its small vocabulary, simplicity, and ease of acquisition.

    The idea is to bring the idea of simplicity to a new programing language using this language words and limitations to implement it.

    The name for this programming language could be: "toki ilo" or "ilo pona". I will ask the community to get other ideas and also to get feedback about the initial design.

    The idea is to start to implement something as a gcc frontend.

    Goals

    • The language design should be really simple but completely functional:
      • functions
      • variables
      • conditional
      • loop
      • data structures
    • The keywords should be from toki pona, and better if could be read as pseudo code in toki pona
    • It should be possible to "compile" code written in sitelen pona
