Building a reactive calculator with Keera Hails (5/5)
In the last few blog posts, we examined how to build a functional calculator web-app using reactive programming. We used the reactive programming library Keera Hails, but the ideas apply to other frameworks as well.

Building a reactive calculator with Keera Hails (4/5)
In the last post we saw how to build a good looking GUI for a reactive calculator app. In this post we are going to implement the model of the application and connect it to the reactive GUI.

Building a reactive calculator with Keera Hails (3/5)
In our last post, we saw how to populate a dynamic page in Haskell from static files, and how to access HTML elements from the page, how to make their attributes and events reactive, and how to connect them using reactive rules.

Building a reactive calculator with Keera Hails (2/5)
In the first post in this series, we saw how to get started with GHCJS with a Hello world, and how to build a basic reactive application. In this next blog post, we will create a more sophisticated view for our reactive calculator app (Fig.

Building a reactive calculator with Keera Hails (1/5)
In this hands-on tutorial, we are going to build a reactive calculator app in Haskell. The code we will write will work on your browser using GHCJS, but you can easily change it to work on desktop if you want: all GUI code will be located in exactly one module with just over 50 lines of code.

Haskell on Android and iOS
We strongly believe that Haskell is one of the best choices for game and app programming. It’s declarative, it’s portable and it’s robust.
However, turning your Haskell code into an app that can be published on the App Store or Google Play for Android has always been painful.

From 60 Frames per Second to 500 in Haskell
Haskell is often advertised as fast, easy to parallelize and to optimize. But how much of that is really true? We are going to demonstrate it using a game we are building, including how many changes we had to introduce to increase the game speed by 700% on desktop, how we managed to go from increasing memory consumption in the order of hundreds of megabytes down to constant memory consumption of only 3MB. We’ll also see the impact it had on Android.
