Brick is a Haskell terminal user interface (TUI) programming toolkit that enables developers to build rich, responsive terminal applications via a declarative model: you define a pure function that renders the UI from application state and supply state transition logic to handle events. brick exposes a declarative API. Unlike most GUI toolkits which require you to write a long and tedious sequence of widget creations and layout setup, brick just requires you to describe your interface using a set of declarative layout combinators. Event-handling is done by pattern-matching on incoming events and updating your application state. Under the hood, this library builds upon vty, so some knowledge of Vty will be necessary to use this library. Brick depends on vty-crossplatform, so Brick should work anywhere Vty works (Unix and Windows). Brick releases prior to 2.0 only support Unix-based systems.

HaLVM is a Haskell-based unikernel system that lets you write entire virtual machines in Haskell and run them directly on a hypervisor, traditionally Xen. Instead of deploying a full operating system, you compile a Haskell program into a tiny image that boots as its own VM, which reduces the attack surface and startup time. The project adapts GHC and the Haskell runtime to a minimal environment, providing the I/O, networking, and memory facilities necessary for standalone services. Its design encourages highly isolated services—each VM does one job—making it attractive for security-sensitive components and research on microservice-style architectures. Developers get to keep Haskell’s strong typing, concurrency abstractions, and functional style while targeting bare virtual hardware. Although device support is intentionally narrow compared to general-purpose OSes, the trade-off is predictability and very small, auditable deployments.

Kitten is an experimental, concatenative programming language that blends Forth/Joy-style stack programming with modern static typing and effect tracking. Programs are composed by chaining small words that transform a typed stack, and the compiler uses type inference to ensure compositions are valid. The language explores disciplined handling of side effects, aiming to separate pure transformations from operations that perform I/O or mutate state. Its design encourages small, reusable building blocks that compose cleanly, while still permitting low-level control where performance matters. The implementation targets efficient compiled code and investigates how advanced type systems can improve reliability in a stack-based language. As a research project, Kitten serves both as a language to experiment with and as a vehicle for ideas about safety and structure in concatenative programming.

Asterius is a Haskell toolchain that compiles to WebAssembly, enabling Haskell programs to run in the browser and other Wasm hosts. It builds on GHC, lowers Haskell code to WebAssembly modules, and links them with a lightweight JavaScript runtime for I/O, GC interaction, and host integration. The toolchain provides commands to build and link (ahc/ahc-link), bundle assets, and target both browser and Node environments. Interop is a core focus: Haskell functions can call into JavaScript and vice versa, making it feasible to combine Haskell logic with web APIs. Asterius aims to keep as much of Haskell’s runtime model as practical while delivering the portability and startup characteristics of Wasm. By bridging GHC and WebAssembly, it opens a path to reuse Haskell libraries on the client side without switching languages.

Corrode is an experimental translator that converts C code into Rust, intended to help migrate existing C codebases toward safer Rust idioms. It parses C, maps C types and constructs into Rust equivalents, and generates code that compiles under rustc, introducing unsafe only when necessary. The tool seeks to produce readable Rust that a developer can then refine by hand, rather than a perfect one-to-one mechanical translation. It handles common C features such as pointers, structs, enums, arrays, and function calls, while flagging areas that need attention during the migration. Preprocessor handling and tricky macro patterns are approached pragmatically, aiming for working output over exhaustive transformation. As a proof-of-concept, it demonstrates how automated tooling can accelerate moving from legacy C to a memory-safe language without a full rewrite.

Lsl Plus is an edit/compile/test environment for the Linden Scripting Language (LSL), implemented as an Eclipse plug-in.

It serves as a foundational tool in the Haskell ecosystem for handling JSON data efficiently. High-performance optimized for real-world workloads. Widely used and well-maintained community library. Compatible with popular frameworks and the Haskell web ecosystem. Easy-to-use API (e.g., FromJSON, ToJSON typeclasses). Fast JSON parsing and serialization.

Agda is a system for incrementally developing proofs and programs. This is the sourceforge project for the PREVIOUS Agda (Agda 1). A newer version of Agda (Agda 2) in beta testing is available from: http://wiki.portal.chalmers.se/agda/

This project intends to develop tools to enable MDA support for the formal modeling language Alloy.

An interpreter for the Argh! esoteric programming language in wxHaskell. The program allows one to load, edit, save, validate and run Argh! programs. It currently supports all commands except 'e' and 'E'. Documented using Haddock.

A command line tool that allows a semi-automated scientific articles management. It assumes an existence of a directory of a specific format in the file system. The tool interprets the data stored in the directory (called a repository), extend it via the usage of some automatic tools such as pdftotext, and search the text as well as some metadata.

A compiler which translated AspectFun program into Haskell.

Assorted projects. General-purpose libraries for Python, C++, Scala, bash, and others. Meta-programming tools. System utilities. UI components. Web APIs. Configuration files. Benchmarks. Programming competition entries. And much more.

Beam is a Haskell interface to relational databases. Beam uses the Haskell type system to verify that queries are type-safe before sending them to the database server. Queries are written in a straightforward, natural monadic syntax. Combinators are provided for all standard SQL92 features, and a significant subset of SQL99, SQL2003, and SQL2008 features. Beam is standards-compliant but not naive. We recognize that different database backends provide different guarantees, syntaxes, and advantages. To reflect this, Beam maintains a modular design. While the core package provides standard functionality, Beam is split up into a variety of backends which provide a means to interface Beam's data query and update DSLs with particular RDBMS backends. Backends can be written and maintained independently of this repository. For example, the beam-MySQL and beam-firebird backends are packaged independently.
