2026-01-22 13:34:17 +0100 <merijn> Wait, he wrote LPmud? :O
2026-01-22 13:34:01 +0100 <gentauro> merijn: do you know if he "schooled" from Chalmers?
2026-01-22 13:33:49 +0100 <oskarw> __monty__: Yes
2026-01-22 13:33:15 +0100 <__monty__> oskarw: Is this for a junior position?
2026-01-22 13:32:53 +0100 <merijn> Although I'm not 100% sure
2026-01-22 13:32:42 +0100 <merijn> Including (iirc my history correctly) the very first one
2026-01-22 13:32:30 +0100 <gentauro> merijn: xD

2026-01-22 13:32:05 +0100 <[exa]> lol the slides basically hint that microhs is an exfiltrated mu
2026-01-22 13:31:48 +0100 <merijn> I think he's written like, 4?
2026-01-22 13:31:38 +0100 <merijn> gentauro: Writing Haskell compilers is his hobby (and job, I guess :p)
2026-01-22 13:31:21 +0100 <gentauro> I'm a fan of his MicroHS compiler :)
2026-01-22 13:30:59 +0100 <oskarw> I knew that irc was right place to ask for help
2026-01-22 13:30:51 +0100 <merijn> gentauro: Yeah
2026-01-22 13:30:46 +0100 <oskarw> [exa]: Thank you for slides
2026-01-22 13:30:32 +0100 <gentauro> merijn: are we talking about Lennart Augustsson (currently at EPIC with SPJ)?

2026-01-22 13:30:14 +0100 <oskarw> There is interview with employee from Standard Chartered and he says that MU have recursion disabled by default :skull:
2026-01-22 13:30:10 +0100 <[exa]> oskarw: there are nice slides here https://icfp21.sigplan.org/details/hiw-2021-papers/14/Haskell-reinterpreted-large-scale-real-world…
2026-01-22 13:29:08 +0100qqq(~qqq@185.54.21.105) (Remote host closed the connection)
2026-01-22 13:28:45 +0100 <gentauro> __monty__: so `Mu` just prepends `{-# LANGUAGE Strict #-}` on all files? :D

2026-01-22 13:27:56 +0100 <oskarw> [exa]: I always strive to learn more
2026-01-22 13:27:22 +0100 <oskarw> __monty__: Can I learn some MU beforehand? Or this langauge exist only inside company?
2026-01-22 13:26:08 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: xD
2026-01-22 13:25:59 +0100 <__monty__> Isn't Mu eager rather than lazy? That's a pretty big difference from Haskell, no?
2026-01-22 13:25:43 +0100 <oskarw> Now I feel like impostor xd
2026-01-22 13:25:34 +0100 <oskarw> I will check his site
2026-01-22 13:25:08 +0100 <oskarw> Aaa xd
2026-01-22 13:24:56 +0100 <gentauro> xD
2026-01-22 13:24:55 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: I though you were -> https://wickstrom.tech/
2026-01-22 13:24:51 +0100 <oskarw> I would be salty if I was named Oskar instead of Ansgar being born as Swede
2026-01-22 13:24:32 +0100 <[exa]> oskarw: btw the good point for interviews is that if you already know some haskell you're basically guaranteed fast learner :D
2026-01-22 13:23:52 +0100 <gentauro> oh, my bad
2026-01-22 13:23:20 +0100 <oskarw> No, I'm from Poland
2026-01-22 13:23:08 +0100trickard_trickard
2026-01-22 13:23:04 +0100 <oskarw> [exa]: Probably true
2026-01-22 13:23:03 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: but you are swede right? ;)
2026-01-22 13:22:49 +0100 <oskarw> *unfortunately
2026-01-22 13:22:21 +0100 <oskarw> gentauro: Unfortuneteller no, oskarw is just my name with first letter of surname
2026-01-22 13:22:20 +0100qqq(~qqq@185.54.21.105)
2026-01-22 13:21:32 +0100 <[exa]> oskarw: most of the competition has issues catching up with the fact that they'd even use haskell
2026-01-22 13:21:10 +0100 <oskarw> I think lawyers think this would be just copy-paste
2026-01-22 13:21:05 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: inferring from your name, are you the one that made "Idris in PureScript"? :)
2026-01-22 13:20:35 +0100 <oskarw> I'm always curios how fast would competition "catch up" to using custom variant of haskell
2026-01-22 13:20:00 +0100 <oskarw> gentauro: This is fair, but it is still sad
2026-01-22 13:19:33 +0100 <gentauro> (not ideal though)
2026-01-22 13:19:22 +0100 <gentauro> oskarw: they pay "our bills" so "they decide". I think it's fair ;)
