Lightning Talk Slot #3: The Haskell Optimization Handbook
summary
A community-written handbook consolidates measured Haskell performance recipes into one place, backed by Haskell Foundation tech proposal 26 and hosted as a GitHub repo with chapters tracked as issues; preliminaries exist but measurement, profiling and optimization sections are largely unfinished. Content targets actionable steps: GHC flags, tick and eventlog profiling, perf and valgrind, reading Core, levity polymorphism, oneShot and backpack, flame graphs, and runtime/GC tuning. Contributions follow a write → edit → review workflow and welcome non-experts for accessibility checks.
