I'm interested in attending the Hackathon, but I don't have any previous experience working on compilers. I think it could be a great learning experience, but I certainly don't want to slow progress on any work by just hanging around asking questions. I'm a mathematician/statistician, and my programming experience is limited to high-level languages like Python, R, and Haskell. I can read C (sort of), but I've been too frustrated by the lack of high-level features to do anything useful with it. I've been using Haskell for about 2 years now (every chance I get), and I'm very interested in using it to allow high-performance (preferably parallel) code to be written at a very high level of abstraction.
Given this, does it seem there would be much I could help with?
Thanks,
Chad Scherrer
