Hi all, Thanks for all the feedback and kind words. Yes, we're planning to have export to PDF/midi options soon. We have plenty of ideas, but limited time :-/ User feedback is collected (and voted for) on https://chordify.uservoice.com/ Thanks, Pedro On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 12:37 PM, Rustom

[Haskell-cafe] Mobile app development?

2013-01-19 Thread Andrew Pennebaker
There are currently very few options, especially free and open source options, when it comes to developing cross-platform mobile applications. It's basically web apps with JavaScript, or C++. If Haskell supported app development on Android, iOS, and Windows RT, that alone would bring in more

You would need native compilers for all the platforms and/or virtual machine technology. Might be easier to have the browser connect to a Haskell app. On Sat, Jan 19, 2013 at 10:42 AM, Andrew Pennebaker andrew.penneba...@gmail.com wrote: There are currently very few options, especially free

Then it looks as if the easier implementation would be small Haskell VM's for the various platforms with a byte code compiler. I do not believe the JVM supports all the optimizations GHC can do. Oh wait! Can the LLVM be easily ported to do this? On Sat, Jan 19, 2013 at 11:40 AM, Andrew

LLVM probably already supports producing native code for all of the architectures for the mobile platforms. The non-trivial parts are probably getting GHC to cross-compile and wrapping all of the libraries you need for the platforms you want to support. On Sat, Jan 19, 2013 at 12:41 PM, KC

Well, to target javascript there is haste [1] and ghcjs [2]. Ghc can target iOS [3]. Recently I managed to get ghc to target android working (this still needs some work): [4]. And there is also an active effort by Stephen Paul Weber to get blackberry working in the devs-ghc mailinglist. So my

[Haskell-cafe] Why should we write a `par` b `pseq` (f a b) instead of a `par` b `par` (f a b)?

2013-01-19 Thread Petr P
Dear Haskellers, I've been playing with par and pseq, and I wonder: Is there any reason to use a `par` b `pseq` (a + b) instead of a `par` b `par` (a + b) except that the second version sparks twice instead of just once (which probably degrades performance a bit)? It seems to me that the

Hi cafe, this is a security advisory for tls-extra 0.6.1 which are all vulnerable to bad certificate validation. Some part of the certificate validation procedure were missing (relying on the work-in-progress x509 v3 extensions), and because of this anyone with a correct end-entity certificate
