I want to research an optical/visual effect. I'll be glad to expand if interested. 1*5 = ?, ça depends de logiciel, en APL c'est =1 non 5.

It must be applied to GHC HEAD but GHC HEAD has evolved a lot since I posted this patch. I have made an update and tested it on an embedded Linux ARM with the latest GHC HEAD. But now I need to find time to clean it and generate new patches. Also, the version posted on this site has a little problem with Posix. I have not uploaded the patch with the correction (that I have). Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible anymore to develop for iPhone in Haskell due to the recent changes the developer agreement. So, I am not sure I'll spend time to update the patch. But to be clear : it does not work on 6.10.4 : not same build system. Mon, 12 Apr 2010 12:54:45 -0500 urn:uuid:322 alpheccar http://www.alpheccar.org/en/posts/show/94 Wonderful! Is it allowed to make an app that Apple approves using the current state of this patch? I will try now with GHC 6.10.4 source tree. I have developed myself ObjC bindings to make full Cocoa/GNUstep apps entirely with Haskell and our developers over here are extremely interested and excited to use this for our projects that simply cannot be done without laziness and so on language features. The iPhone should be fine with performance we have never had performance or memory issues with our hs code.

If you want to study different paradigms then Scheme may be a good start. You won't be blocked by syntax and you just have to learn a small set of concepts. If you want something more practical and not too hard then Python should be great too I think the danger is to focus on only one language because none is perfect and you should make a distinction between general principles and problems specific to a given language. Try Python. You'll more easily find documentation and libraries.

When I started reading your blog I have to tell you that i felt that you are the best person to ask this question. what is the best thing that i should invest my time to learn? I have a limited exceperience in visual basic and i could use other OS like Knowppix, Ubotu and i really want to rearn somthing valuable. thanks very much for your time in advance Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:40:37 -0600 urn:uuid:312 A Kamal http://www.alpheccar.org/en/posts/show/36 I made a mistake when generating the files HsBaseConfig.h. I'll upload new ones when they are tested. Current ones have been generated with 64bit archi which is wrong. Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:26:47 -0600 urn:uuid:311 alpheccar http://www.alpheccar.org/en/posts/show/94 It is not iPhone specific. IPHONE changes are enabled with the IPHONE makefile variable. Cross compilation changes are enabled with the GhcCrossCompile makefile variable. You can enable cross compilation without enabling the iPhone changes. So, it should work with an omap3-unknown-linux platform. You'll have to customize a bit the content of the OMAP3 folder in the CrossCompilation folder. There is a lot of remaining work required before we can submit it to the GHC team. It has not been tested enough and some cleaning is really required to avoid too ad'hoc solutions. Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:44:38 -0600 urn:uuid:310 alpheccar http://www.alpheccar.org/en/posts/show/94 Have you submitted this to the GHC team? It would be nice to get in head and thus GHC 6.14. Also, it seems like much of this is iPhone specific - is that not true? Can you set it for a generic omap3-unknown-linux target such as a Touchbook or gumstix?

Small, interactive, and written in itself, Forth is one of the great languages for writing DSLs. It's also one of the few high level languages that can also be it's own assembly language, and microprocessors that execute Forth have been designed and manufactured.
