On design choices to build a resource-safe interface for Sparkle using linear types

Discussion on using Bazel with inline-java

Benchmarks of inline-java and a discussion of its performance trade-offs.

In this post about inline-java I aim to walk you through the upcoming safe interface of the library, which allows detecting memory management mistakes at compile time using linear types.

Foreign function interfaces (FFI) allow fast interop between languages. Unlike other approaches, like performing RPC calls between different components written in different languages, using the FFI allows for all manner of data to be shared between each language runtime, in the…

Previously, we discussed how to use inline-java to call any Java function from Haskell. The reverse is also possible, though that will be a topic for a future post. In this post, we’ll peek underneath the hood to talk a little about how inline-java does its deed. You might find…

Our introductory post for inline-java showed that we could call methods written in Java (or indeed any JVM function) from Haskell. Much in the style of other packages, it is moreover possible to do using java syntax, so examples from Java API documentation can be reused as-is. In…

By now, Haskell has first class support for seamlessly embedding foreign code into source files and casually call anything in C (via inline-c) or R (via inline-r), let alone that whole programs can also be compiled down to in-browser JavaScript, thanks to GHCJS. Today the…
