I spent a week at the main functional programming conference and got to talk to my heroes, so here are some reflections.

Omitting the diacritics is a common phenomenon in languages such as Turkish and Serbo-Croatian. Then why isn't there any research on this?

The Idris community is not so fond of implicit conversions, I think they're a useful and powerful tool that are easy to misuse. Here's an idea to fix them.

GHC.Proof is a great hack and I wanted to add another hack on top of it. It is simple enough that it could serve as a Template Haskell tutorial for others.

My new keyboard and related workflow changes

I will be giving lectures on Functional Programming in Haskell next semester.

My reflection on how I felt when I was adapting to an English-speaking environment.

I built a pseudo-Prolog that tries to answer queries by building the least Herbrand model, as a final project for a class. I chose to build it in Haskell to take advantage of lazy evaluations, but even then I couldn't handle infinite sets.

I translated a couple of famous Turkish poems to English. It turns out that translation is fun and tough. I'll also ramble a bit about adaptation to the US.

I started a blog with Hakyll.
