Just what does “code as data” mean anyway? (2014)
Recently, I’ve seen popular articles on macros and metaprogramming in Nimrod and Elixir . Both of these are wonderful metaprogramming systems, to be sure, but I couldn’t help but imagine some in the audience smirking inwardly – and occasionally less inwardly. What odd syntax! How out-of-place they are! If only there…

A Crash Course on ML Modules (2015)
I was having lunch with a couple of Haskell programmers the other day and the subject of the ML family came up. I’ve been writing a lot of ML lately and mentioned that I thought *ML was well worth learning for the average Haskeller. When pressed why the best answer I could come up with was “Well.. clean language, Oh!…

Type inference
Type inference is a major feature of several programming languages, most notably languages from the ML family like Haskell. In this post I want to provide a brief overview of type inference, along with a simple Python implementation for a toy ML-like language.

Writing a recursive ascent parser by hand
I’ve been exploring various ways to write parsers. For a long time, I’ve used hand-written recursive descent for its straightforwardness, flexibility, and performance. There is another way—parser generators like Menhir , LALRPOP , or the venerable Bison use the bottom-up LR algorithm .

Typesafe Neural Networks in Haskell with Dependent Types
It seems these days like programming with dependent types in Haskell (and its advantages) is moving slowly but steadily to the mainstream of Haskell programming. In the current state of Haskell education, dependent types are often considered topics for “advanced” Haskell users. However, I can foresee a day where the…
