Today, 2023-12-20, at 1930 UTC (11:30 am PST, 2:30 pm EST, 7:30 pm GMT, 20:30 CET, …) we are streaming the 17th episode of the Haskell Unfolder live on YouTube.

The Haskell Unfolder Episode 17: circular programs

A circular program is a program that depends on its own result. It may be surprising that this works at all, but laziness makes it possible if output becomes available sooner than it is required. In this final episode of 2023, which will be longer than usual (probably 45-60 minutes), we will take a look at several examples of circular programs: the classic yet somewhat contrived RepMin problem, the naming of bound variables in a lambda expression, and breadth-first labelling.

About the Haskell Unfolder

The Haskell Unfolder is a YouTube series about all things Haskell hosted by Edsko de Vries and Andres Löh, with episodes appearing approximately every two weeks. All episodes are live-streamed, and we try to respond to audience questions. All episodes are also available as recordings afterwards.

We have a GitHub repository with code samples from the episodes.

And we have a public Google calendar (also available as ICal) listing the planned schedule.
