The members of the Haskell.org Committee (the Committee) and the directors of the Haskell Foundation (the Foundation) are pleased to announce that we have joined forces, with the aim (subject to regulatory approval) of merging Haskell.org, Inc. and Haskell Foundation, Inc. into a single not-for-profit corporation. Together we continue our common mission to advance functional programming and to advocate for the Haskell language, its ecosystem, and its community.
Please read the full announcement on blog.haskell.org.
Today on the Haskell Interlude, Matti and Sam are joined by Satnam Singh. Satnam has been a lecturer at Glasgow, and Software Engineer at Google, Meta, and now Groq. He talks about convincing people to use Haskell, laying out circuits and why community matters.
PS: After the recording, it was important to Satnam to clarify that his advise to “not be afraid to loose your job” was specially meant to encourage to quit jobs that are not good for you, if possible, but he acknowledges that unfortunately not everybody can afford that risk.

Watch Simon Peyton Jones announce the Haskell Foundation at the Haskell eXchange conference on November 4, 2020.
In this keynote, Simon talks about the Haskell Foundation's launch and its goals. At the end, he is joined by a panel of HF volunteers to take questions from the audience.
Haskell embodies a radical and elegant attack on the entire enterprise of writing software. It profoundly influences the world of software for the better.
Ideas that guide our every decision
Haskell’s design puts principle ahead of expediency by cleaving closely to the principles of purely functional programming.
All Haskell Foundation efforts are open source.
HF augments, celebrates, and coordinates the contributions and leadership of Haskell’s vibrant community.
For many, Haskell is more a way of life than a programming language. All are welcome, all can contribute. To this end we have adopted the Haskell Guidelines For Respectful Communication.
All technical decisions related to HF’s open source projects are proposed and debated in public.
The Haskell Foundation category in the Haskell Discourse is where we make official announcements, and have discussions with the community.
Official communication channel for HF Board members, the archive is publicly available.
