We sat down with Stefan Wehr, professor at the Offenburg University of Applied Sciences, who has extensive experience with Haskell both in academia and industrial application.
Enjoy the episode!

I tried to download the podcast via the above link.
But on that page the Buzzsprout player does not appear. (Have verified Phil Wadler’s episode. Everything works, playing and downloading via Share.)
Went to the github page <https://github.com/haskellfoundation/haskellfoundation.github.io/tree/hakyll/podcast/71> and got the Buzzsprout ID (1817535).
On Buzzsprout <https://www.buzzsprout.com/1817535/episodes/18021330-71-stefan-wehr> will stream but downloading through Share is not available.
Got the RSS feed <https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1817535.rss> and that did allow me to download.
So it seems everything is in place except for the Buzzsprout link in the podcast page.
Me too. No podcast to listen to. That page is broken.
(Interlude 70 (Wadler) does show a player.)
We’re investigating.
So we finally got this fixed. Apologies!

I am puzzled that so much time is spent talking about “functor” modules in ML but Backpack is not even mentioned. For example, why doesn’t Backpack fit the bill for this following request?
I really miss in Haskell that you can’t have a module that depends on the signature of another module, and then you can later specify, “Well, I want to have this and that module for fulfilling this signature.” I mean, type classes are great for many things. I mean, monad, functor, also equality, or show. It’s perfect, and it works very good. But for modularity, well, using it instead of a module, whoa, I don’t think it’s such a good idea.
It might, but it’s been in “experimental state” since forever, and severely underdocumented.
