# The 2006 GHC hackathon: 14,15 September 2006, Portland
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GHC is used by lots of people, but its implementation is rather over-centralised, even though GHC is a BSD-licensed, open-source project. The biggest obstacle to more people getting involved is that GHC is a big, and hence intimidating, system. The purpose of the GHC hackathon is to give a tutorial in GHC’s innards, plus time to work on some projects in a context where there are plenty of people around to help. The objective is to substantially broaden (more numbers) and deepen (more confidence) the community of people who feel they know enough to fix and enhance GHC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These days, GHC is more than just a batch compiler:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- It's an interactive interpreter
|
|
|
- It's a (Haskell) library
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The latter, in particular, opens up new possiblities, such as using GHC to parse and type-check Haskell, before analysing or transforming it with your own program. However, GHC-as-a-library has a pretty big interface that uses a lot of data types, which will be among the things we'll describe at the hackathon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We'll suggest some projects, but you're welcome to come along with your own wacky ideas or itches that you want to scratch, and work on them in an environment with a high-bandwidth connection to developers who really know the innards of GHC. You could work on something individual, or in small groups. We anticipate all being in one room, or in a tight group of rooms, so there’d be lots of informal interaction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also there's a good chance it'll be fun :-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Date and programme
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hackathon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday September 14th and Friday 15th, immediately before the [ International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP'06)](http://icfp06.cs.uchicago.edu/) in Portland. There are various interesting ICFP workshops on Sat 16th ([ Generic programming](http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/wgp2006.html), [ ML](http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/ml2006/), [ Erlang](http://www.erlang.se/workshop/2006/)), but if people are enthusiastic to continue on Saturday, the space will be available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have in mind the following.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- One full day of tutorial from Simon PJ & Simon M about GHC’s glorious innards (14th)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Then one or two days of hacking on projects (15th, 16th)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We expect that some of you will come with GHC-related projects that you want to work on, but we'll also offer a [list of possible projects](hackathon-projects), so you can come without anything in mind and choose on the day. The list is a wiki; please add your own suggestions to it, even if you can't come!
|
|
|

GHC is used by lots of people, but its implementation is rather over-centralised, even though GHC is a BSD-licensed, open-source project. The biggest obstacle to more people getting involved is that GHC is a big, and hence intimidating, system. The purpose of the GHC hackathon is to give a tutorial in GHC’s innards, plus time to work on some projects in a context where there are plenty of people around to help. The objective is to substantially broaden (more numbers) and deepen (more confidence) the community of people who feel they know enough to fix and enhance GHC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These days, GHC is more than just a batch compiler:
|
|
|
* It's an interactive interpreter
|
|
|
* It's a (Haskell) library
|
|
|
The latter, in particular, opens up new possiblities, such as using GHC to parse and type-check Haskell, before analysing or transforming it with your own program. However, GHC-as-a-library has a pretty big interface that uses a lot of data types, which will be among the things we'll describe at the hackathon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We'll suggest some projects, but you're welcome to come along with your own wacky ideas or itches that you want to scratch, and work on them in an environment with a high-bandwidth connection to developers who really know the innards of GHC. You could work on something individual, or in small groups. We anticipate all being in one room, or in a tight group of rooms, so there’d be lots of informal interaction.

Wikipedia has an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackathon article about Hackathons]
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Bootstrapping into GHC ==
|
|
|
|
|
|
We had some enquiries about whether people should come along with a
|
|
|
fresh GHC build ready to go, and if so how to go about getting one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'll probably be demonstrating how to set up a build on Thursday, so if
|
|
|
you want you can wait until then and there should be plenty of time to
|
|
|
get a working build before Friday. It's probably a good idea to make
|
|
|
sure that your machine has the relevant tools, though:
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're keen to set up a build beforehand, here's where to look to
|
|
|
find out how to do it. I've been moving the build system documentation
|
|
|
onto the wiki, the top of which is here:
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building
|
|
|
|
|
|
In particular, the section "Quick start for developers" should have
|
|
|
enough to set you up with a build that won't take several days to
|
|
|
complete, and will be tailored to what you're particularly interested in
|
|
|
working on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two branches of the source code now: the HEAD and the 6.6
|
|
|
branch. They are still very close, so building either one should be
|
|
|
fine. The 6.6 branch darcs repositories are all under
|
|
|
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-6.6.
