Laziness is underrated. Here I lay out a lazy initialization strategy for managing a pool of resources. It is beneficial to defer initialization to improve performance in scenarios where not all resources are needed simultaneously.

Newtypes are generally useful to avoid parameter-blindness, but can be cumbersome if each type has it's own wrapper. I explore the use of TypeData as an extended way to improve type safety and reduce developer errors.

HAMT's are cool, Haskell has a ubiquitous one in unordered-containers. But other languages have the even cooler CHAMPs. This post is about optimizing the filter-ish functions in an attempt at a drop-in replacement that uses CHAMPs.

Haskell's ordered maps are fun tools to have in any arsenal. In this post I give an example on doing dependency resolution quickly using the partially ordered nature of dependency relations, using an extremely contrived example.

A rambling of thoughts and my experience up till now with text editors.

A fun, I think, thought experiment to avoid concurrency deadlocks by enforcing a fixed, predefined order for acquiring static sets of MVars.

An exercise in parameterizing tasty test-suites using the CLI.

First step in my adventure in writing a library over libcurl, using hs-bindgen.

Adventures in tackling race conditions and flaky tests in HLS.
