|
|
## What's it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a series of informal meetings of people actively working on parallel Haskell
|
|
|
|
implementations, mainly GpH and Eden. Physically these meetings involve mainly people
|
|
|
|
from Heriot-Watt and St Andrews Univ, with others joining in over Skype.
