Herewith I propose Atze Dijkstra as a member of the Haskell 2011
committee.
Atze is the main architect/implementor of the Utrecht Haskell Compiler
(see http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/UHC, and last year Haskell Symposium),
and has as a result of that a very good insight in the implementation
issues involved with new features/extensions/changes. He furthermore
co-supervises Arie Middelkoop who is working on the Ruler system,
which aims to be a tool for describing (the implementations of) type
systems, and Jeroen Fokker who is working on a Grin-based whole-
program analysis
The compiler itself is currently about 100.000 lines of Haskell. A
second release is planned for the beginning of next year, which will
contain a completely new garbage collector, a cabal based installation
scheme, and the beginning of some global optimisations.
I think Atze primarily covers the following categories: Implementors,
Academic users, Teachers.
If you have any questions I am more than willing to answer them,
Doaitse
