If you’re a #haskell user or a proponent of #functionalprogramming please consider donating to the #Purescript project to keep it alive.

It’s a fairly obscure project but, IMO, it is THE language for web #frontend.

On top of that, the backend was recently rewritten in #ChezScheme which tends to be very popular choice in the #formalmethods world due to its rigor.

I see #ghcjs nipping at its heels but IMO, PS will always be a more bespoke and opinionated tool.

*Last Call*

I have a #PhD position for UK students, available with myself and @bentnib

This project will be looking at developing new methods for asserting the resilience of existing communicating systems by developing new static analysis methods derived from advanced programming language research.

*Hard Deadline*: Wednesday 16th April 2025

You will belong to @StrathCyber and @mspstrath, as well as gaining access to @spli

(Ignore the deadline on the advert)

Please spread the words.

FTfJP 2025

27th International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Judicious Programming, 03
July 2025, Bergen, Norway

Conference website:
2025.ecoop.org/home/FTfJP-2025

## Important dates

- Paper submission: 15 April 2025 (AoE)
- Paper notification: 21 May 2025 (AoE)
- Workshop date: 03 July 2025 (co-located with ECOOP 2025)
Deadlines expire at 23:59 anywhere on earth on the dates displayed above.

## Objectives and scope

Formal techniques can help analyse programs, precisely describe program
behaviour, and verify program properties. Modern programming languages (such as C#, Java, Kotlin, Rust, or Scala) are interesting targets for formal techniques due to their ubiquity and wide user base, stable and well-defined interfaces and platforms, and powerful (but also complex) libraries. New languages and applications in this space are continually arising, resulting in new programming languages research challenges.

FTfJP welcomes submissions on technical contributions, case studies,
experience reports, challenge proposals, tools, and position papers as full (12 pages) or short (6 pages) papers.

The other thing that I really enjoyed in my industry job is to really think that, hey, the skills that we have as PL people and as formal methods, functional programming, these sorts of things, they are relevant. It’s like people say that when you get into industry, these things are not important. And I think that’s a total misconception. It’s a total lie because, of course, if you don’t know what you can do with a nice systematic approach, of course, you don’t end up doing it, and everything becomes just another hack. - Farhad Mehta – the Haskell Interlude Podcast

Farhad tells us about formal methods, building tunnels, the importance of education, and the complicated relationship between academia and industry.
