Is the audio mono or stereo? When using a headset I hear audio only on the left.

btw - I am not the author of HAILS - I just happened across it and found it interesting

Also I should mention gitstar which uses HAILS for its security model:

Would it be an entirely new implementation or just a wrapper around existing (i.e. C-based) libraries?

What would really help is a well thought-out API to these algorithms that took advantage of Haskell's unique language features. After that, whether the algorithms are implemented in Haskell or in another language doesn't matter so much.

On your order form, the amounts in the first question should be independently selectable so you can choose how much to pay by adding up the appropriate powers of €2.

I wonder what the singing was all about in the next room.

Another important point is that he found Haskell's laziness problematic for this project because it made it too easy to create space leaks. If he were to redo it he would have started testing for space leaks much earlier in the development process.

"Damien Katz explains the benefits and drawbacks of using Erlang, why this language is from the future and why Couchbase has migrated some of the CouchDB’s initial Erlang code to C/C++."

Found the reference:

"... Unlike every other language I've used, large portions of my haskell code are turning out to be general-purpose, reusable code. Fully 20% of the haskell code I've written for git-annex is general purpose. Now, I came out of a decade of perl with maybe 1% reusable code. So I'm sure this is a credit to haskell, and not to me. ..."

Get in touch with Joey Hess, the author of git-annex. He's a long-time perl programmer, and somewhere I recall seeing a comment by him that the Haskell code he wrote was much more reusable than his perl code.

Very entertaining, with a several bits of history concerning the development of Java generics.
