Why I refuse to learn type-level programming in Haskell
A short essay about why I refuse to learn complex language features like type-level programming in Haskell and first-class modules in OCaml.
Intrinsic vs. extrinsic verification
Tracing the origin of the terms "intrinsic" and "extrinsic" in formal verification and programming languages.
After ICFP 2018
I spent a week at the main functional programming conference and got to talk to my heroes, so here are some reflections.
The diacritic omission phenomenon
Omitting the diacritics is a common phenomenon in languages such as Turkish and Serbo-Croatian. Then why isn't there any research on this?
Scoped implicit conversions for Idris
The Idris community is not so fond of implicit conversions, I think they're a useful and powerful tool that are easy to misuse. Here's an idea to fix them.

GHC.Proof is a great hack and I wanted to add another hack on top of it. It is simple enough that it could serve as a Template Haskell tutorial for others.
Starting a Haskell student forum at Wesleyan
I will be giving lectures on Functional Programming in Haskell next semester.
Language immersion for linguistic freaks
My reflection on how I felt when I was adapting to an English-speaking environment.
An impractical pseudo-Prolog
I built a pseudo-Prolog that tries to answer queries by building the least Herbrand model, as a final project for a class. I chose to build it in Haskell to take advantage of lazy evaluations, but even then I couldn't handle infinite sets.
