I was wondering why we do not have so much video contents about new things in haskell? I’ll probably try some new contents about Machine Learning Engineering in Haskell.

Would you accept such a “mundane” explanation as merely networking effect?
The community is smaller, therefore there are fewer volunteers who make free content, and less money to be made for those who want to make paid content.

I agree with that, is there any way to grow up these things? Like, I like to do free content, just need some support hahaha
I find YouTube-style videos are counter-productive for learning programming topics. If a title seems interesting, I’d rather find a transcript or a formal write-up, so I can go through it at my own pace. (The same goes for podcasts.)
(There was a series of videos a few years ago from a prominent member of the community. I did learn quite a few things from its style and presentation. I think none of them were the learnings the presenter was aiming at.)

Nice! Did you know some write ups or blog posts for learning or just share a knowledge?
I guess Haskell learning materials are rather ‘diverse’ and fragmented, compared to some more cut-and-dried languages. Probably because for most of its life Haskell has been ‘experimental’ – indeed some parts still are.
Is there some particular topic you’re wanting to study? Is a Google search not finding material?
I really am studying topics about data science (yes, python is the king of DS hahaha, I use too), more about the math used in machine learning and applied with haskell
If you’re referring to R. Eisenberg’s videos, I’d like to add that in my opinion, they were very good. I enjoyed the presentation and the content itself, maybe they were not so useful for learning like how I would learn from a write-up/blog, but I found them specially good as an introduction to corners of the language that I didn’t know about/understand.
I’m sure we could all benefit if we had more content in the same vein as those!

Thanks @Orphee, I was trying to avoid naming names. YMMV, obviously.

There’s the Haskell Unfolder. Not specifically about new things in Haskell, but we’re covering a wide range of topics.

That’s wonderful! Here in Brazil we have a complete course of haskell made by a university, but, you know is the only few contents that we have.
Here is a talk given by Michael @sperber about using Haskell in deep learning at MuniHac2022. It compares the Python approach to how one can formulate the same problem in Haskell. Also covers some of the math behind the general problem.

I’m seeing one of yours now hahaha, pretty nice content!

I think things have been improving lately in a lot of areas for Haskell. It’s a challenge to reach a critical mass of podcasts, learning materials, books, videos, etc. I’ve seen other niche programming languages have even less than Haskell but others have an outsized amount despite being younger and also less known. I think some of it can depend on what domains they go into. Seems the ones with a lot of web focus tend to have more of this content, probably due to those being more likely to have the skill set to produce such content rather that backend or academic or other areas.

On top of the ones already mentioned, there’s also the following older YouTube channels:
Philipp Hagenlocher
Jekor
Haskelling
I know you asked for new content, but these are all still recent enough to be useful I think.
There’s also the beginner series from Andres (@kosmikus) and co. which is separate from the Unfolder channel already mentioned.
