This poor country allocated @AnitahAmong 1,000,000,000/= for “adverts & public relations”, 495,000,000/= for “staff training” & 143,100,000/= for “bedding, clothing, & footwear”?!

Yet, we pay govt drivers, 250,000/=, & policemen 470,000/= per month?!

GHC 9.4 takes 9 minutes to compile our codebase

GHC 9.6 takes 3 minutes, with `-fprefer-byte-code` and `-fbyte-code-and-object-code`

absolutely incredible work

It's always refreshing to see great parts about other programming languages when you feel like your favourite language is better than others 😌

Did you know that Haskell is used in production at Meta? 🤯

In our latest article, we talk with Simon Marlow from Meta about their Haskell projects – Glean and Haxl – and his thoughts about Haskell in the industry.

One thing I’ve learned today from many of the responses to the derogatory terms used to refer to Northerners is that they are so focused on their intentions, not the reception. The thing is if you find me, an Alur, with a Karamojong, and you call us omulugwara, you’ll offend us. Just ask us our tribes or chill out. Bundling people’s identities is offensive. It’s like when you call someone from Japan or Korea a Chinese, they’re going to be offended. And if you decide that you don’t care to know, just admit you see that group of people as lesser.

In our latest article, we interview @robwithhair from @flowmoco about the benefits of Haskell and functional programming for consulting projects.

Folks, they are learning! 🙏
It means we still have hope 🤞

In proposed FY 2023/24 budget, state house wants Uganda Shs 21,900,000,000 to buy new vehicles for the President and his Vice.
Yet, Shs 20,800,000,000 is what the country needs to buy ambulances for the establishment of the National Ambulance Service System (ministry of health).

The Bushmen generally believe that we owe them everything, perhaps even our lives.

They probably look at NSSF money and think: these savers wouldn't have got this money if we hadn't fought and brought peace.

Until they die or get kicked out of power, they'll tax us for "peace."

@AbigabaKwezi The difference is he came to politics a comfortable man unlike some of you looking for cassava

It makes me so happy to highlight that @47deg has opened a position for "Formal Methods Research Engineer" https://t.co/J566pCX1we

Join us and help us explore how we can bring better tools to developers, based on the research being done in modelling and analysis of code!

@mattoflambda I wish I had the time to dig in and add backpack support to `stack` instead of being grumpy about it.

[Allan Lukwago @epicAllanl]

@mattoflambda It sucks that `stack` doesn't support backpack. Backpack is an easy sell for so many things already.

[Allan Lukwago @epicAllanl]

@mattoflambda I have taken a deeper look at your PR and `annotated-exception` and it's quite clear we need to adopt `annotated-exception` to make the best out of the callstacks. Thanks for all your work.

[Markus Schirp @mbjschirp]

@ChShersh In my team we tend to explicitly opt for what we call "baby haskell" to avoid being trapped by "using all the features".

Its okay to NOT put everything into compile time guarantees, despite the fact its "possible" to do so.
