https://haskell.foundation/events/2026-haskell-implementors-workshop.html

June 5, 2026

Organized by the Haskell Community
Co-located with ZuriHac 2026 and Haskell Ecosystem Workshop 2026
Hosted by the Haskell Foundation
at Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST)
https://www.ost.ch/en/university-of-applied-sciences/campus/rapperswil-jona-campus

Important dates
---------------

Deadline: April 10, 2026 (AoE)
Notification: May 8, 2026
Workshop: June 5, 2026

The 18th Haskell Implementors' Workshop is to be held alongside ZuriHac
2026 this year near Zurich. It is a forum for people involved in the
design and development of Haskell implementations, tools, libraries,
and supporting infrastructure to share their work and to discuss future
directions and collaborations with others.

Talks and/or demos are proposed by submitting an abstract, and
selected by a small program committee. There will be no published
proceedings. The workshop will be informal and interactive, with
open spaces in the timetable and room for ad-hoc discussion, demos,
and short lightning talks.

Scope and target audience
-------------------------

The Implementors' Workshop is an ideal place to describe a Haskell
extension, describe works-in-progress, demo a new Haskell-related tool,
or even propose future lines of Haskell development. Members of the
wider Haskell community are encouraged to attend the workshop -- we need
your feedback to keep the Haskell ecosystem thriving. Students working
with Haskell are especially encouraged to share their work.

The scope covers any of the following topics. There may be some topics
that people feel we've missed, so by all means submit a proposal even if
it doesn't fit exactly into one of these buckets:

* Compilation techniques
* Language features and extensions
* Type system implementation
* Concurrency and parallelism: language design and implementation
* Performance, optimisation and benchmarking
* Virtual machines and run-time systems
* Libraries and tools for development or deployment

Talks
-----

We invite proposals from potential speakers for talks and
demonstrations. We are aiming for 20-minute talks with 5 minutes for
questions and changeovers. We want to hear from people writing
compilers, tools, or libraries, people with cool ideas for directions in
which we should take the platform, proposals for new features to be
implemented, and half-baked crazy ideas. Please submit a talk title and
abstract of no more than 300 words.

Submissions can be made via this form https://forms.gle/S8fpAgFaFEvqoMqH6
until April 10 (anywhere on earth).

We will also have a lightning talks session. Lightning talks should be
~7mins and are scheduled on the day of the workshop. Suggested topics for
lightning talks are to present a single idea, a work-in-progress project, a
problem to intrigue and perplex Haskell implementors, or simply to ask for
feedback and collaborators.
