Interview
summary
Work at Target's supply chain AI group uses Haskell (and past projects in Racket and OCaml) to build event-driven simulations and optimization services, and an engineering push makes those simulations substantially faster so raw simulation performance becomes no longer a bottleneck. The project is moving from a small subset to the entire Target supply chain, handles much larger data and operational scale, and notes Unison as an interesting alternative programming paradigm.
