HsQML StocQt - Stock Market Visualization in Haskell and Qt Quick
by Christopher Reichert
June 6, 2014
Recently, I have been working on porting some Qt Quick demo applications to Haskell and HsQML. The idea is to develop more non-trivial examples to showcase the power of HsQML. The outcome has been quite impressive and HsQML has been a pleasure to work with, as usual.
Here are some images of the ported StocQt app:
Houston Haskell - Installing GHC and Working With Cabal

The first official meeting for the Houston Haskell Users Group was a success! There seems to be many Haskellers in the Houston area who are hungry to learn more.
Read MoreExploring QML In Haskell
by Christopher Reichert

I have recently been experimenting with the Haskell QML binding HsQML. I am a big fan of QML and it’s portability. It’s a very flexible language for user interface development and it makes for a powerful combination with Haskell.
Recently, I wrote about integrating QML code and Haskell using Fay.
HsQML, however, is a more direct way of integrating QML and Haskell. The HsQML approach has the value of the Haskell runtime and garbage collector, among other things (though, Fay may compile the garbage collector, not sure).
This post describes working with HsQML < 0.3.

If you are reading this, you are probably more or less aware of the JavaScript Problem. Like many, I frequently work with JavaScript. There is no avoiding JavaScript on the web and many corners of the software development industry.
My most recent JavaScript endeavor has been in the world of Qt5 and QML. QML is a solid toolkit for writing fluid and cross-platform user interfaces.
Recently, while experimenting with QML, I had a revelation. What if it was possible to generate QML code from Haskell using Fay. Eureka!

If you haven’t figured it out already, I am a Haskell fanatic. Haskell is a fantastic language that has continuously driven me to explore new programming concepts and improve my own skill. Quite naturally, I am intrigued by GHC – The Glasgow Haskell Compiler. GHC is an open-source native code compiler for Haskell. GHC is written in Haskell with the majority of the runtime system written in C and C-- [0].
This post describes how to:
- Check out and build the ghc source.
- Add libraries to your inplace ghc instance.
- Make a trivial change to GHCi.
Teasers in Hakyll
by Christopher Reichert
April 8, 2014
While building this blog, one of the primary issues I faced was figuring out how to implement post teasers. Most of the resources I found were using teasers in an rss or atom feed. The Hakyll tutorial on teasers was helpful but I found I needed a little more handholding. Partially, because I misunderstood how template contexts work in Hakyll.
This post describes how to implement teasers in Hakyll on the default generated test site.

Welcome to the Reichert Brothers Blog!
We finally built it! Our hope is to give back to the software development community that we have learned so much from. We encounter a lot of peculiar problems throughout our hacking journey and we want to make this a forum to discussion related issues.
