The Talks

How I Use Haskell for 3D Printing

by Joe Warren

“Programmable CAD” is a category of software where objects are defined using code.

This talk covers

  • How I’ve used programmable CAD to design parts for 3D printing
  • Why I think Functional Languages are uniquely suited for programmable CAD
  • Why I decided to write a programmable CAD framework
  • Why this lead me to explore the GHC Web Assembly backend
  • And how the Scala Logo lead me to decorate a Christmas tree

Lazy Streams with Constant-Time Access

by Andrew Lelechenko

We discuss a data structure for lazy infinite compact streams with cache-friendly O(1) indexing and its applications to memoization, dynamic programming, cellular automata and recursive functions.

Very cool that you guys will have a talk about Haskell for 3d printing. Waterfall CAD is very nice and I think it deserves more attention.

Many thanks to the organisers and presenters for this event, and the to hosts for their hospitality. This was my first meetup, and based on my experience of it, I would recommend future ones for Haskellers in reach of London.
