Software

This is probably mostly out of date. There’s a couple of hundred packages on Hackage that I wrote. But I don’t maintain these anymore and they’re part of the Haskell community/libraries effort.

Most of the software I’ve written or contributed significant code towards. Almost all of these are installable with “cabal install“. The bigger applications, like xmonad or yi, are probably in your distro of choice.

I was a founding member of the infrastructure team for the Haskell Platform, and 2011 chair of Haskell.org. I stepped down from those duties in around 2012.
