I can confirm that I am able to join the meeting without moderator approval too.
Ah. Did the meeting start already?
We are already chatting, but waiting 5 minutes before we move to tech stuff so that folks can join in
Weāre still waiting on people 
The last meetup summary is really short
-
In the beginning we have discussed possible real world usage scenarios for purescript-machines and streaming in general. Some pinpoints were:
- It can be an overkill to use machines for simple state management. KISS - simple ADT + couple of functions is often just enough.
- Interesting streaming use cases: constant space large document parsing in the SAX spirit, protocol parsing with state transitions etc.
-
We had switched into really entertaining āpodcast modeā
in which @f-f and @kritzcreek discussed a lot of interesting stuff around package manager architecture, dhall, parsing dhall (preserving comments in AST), happy, registry etc. etc.
@kritzcreek is currently working on a package manager for Motoko language. He decided to use dhall as a configuration language there and also looked into spago for inspiration. As we all know @f-f works on the spago and the registry for PS and dhall.
They found a common language really quickly which was really funny to listen to
Additionally:
-
We have shortly discussed that jitsi works fine and we should settle on this and use it in the thread section - thanks a lot @milesfrain!
-
We have talked about but not decided if it is worth to create additional āthread per meetupā or not.
-
In between we have discussed also covid deniers, security issues related to smashing random walls in a house and other interesting stuff
It was real pleasure to meet you again. See you next time of course!

This might have extra ideas around the use of state machines:
This library has to be at least in part inspired by state machines:

It looks like I missed an interesting meetup. Was it recorded?
@milesfrain, could you please tell me how should I schedule the meet for the next Monday? Should I just edit the existing one and change date?
I was also wondering about this, but then I realized that Miles already adjusted date and time in the first post, and that the Jitsi link is already there, so it looks like weāre all set 
Oh, sorry for the spam! Iām not sure what I was thinking about writing the above commentā¦ I was somewhat in the future 
Summary of last meetup:
-
At the beginning @cvlad asked us what small stuff he could make in PureScript in his streams that would attract people to PureScript. He already had an idea of making a simple Markdown parser without any external parsing libraries (inspired by the Haskell JSON parser in 111 lines). Check out his channel at https://twitch.tv/cvladfp!
- We also spoke a little bit about JSON and the JSON standard. Then @milesfrain sent us an article that shows how painful parsing JSON actually can be here.
-
I then spoke about the PureScript-to-PureScript types compiler that Iām working on with @mikesol. We currently lack time, so weād welcome any interested people!
-
We also spoke about what stuff people think would improve the experience of PureScript. They include Pursuit and type hole improvements.
-
@paluh spoke about the small monad transformers workshop that heās working on with me. Stay tuned for news!
-
@paluh also briefly spoke about
purescript-machines, its need for docs, and its lack of machines other than Mealy machines. If anybodyās interested, you can go help document the package! -
We spoke about the increase of PureScriptās adoption in companies and the apparent lack of failures that are caused by PureScript in companies.
This was a really fun meetup. Thanks to all of those who attended!
Iām having some difficulty remembering what we discussed after that. I apologize for not giving a complete summary. Iāll try to take notes next time. Of course, if anybody can remind me of anything that I forgot, Iāll add it here. Thanks in advance!

Is there a plan for a meetup on the 28th?
Good reminder. Iām not going to make it, but I updated the calendar, and the Zulip Jitsi link should still be live for anyone who wants to jump in.

Iām a bit confused. Did you mean Jitsi instead of Zulip?

Iām also going to make it, and Iām available for an AMA on the new Registry draft (see here), if anyone has any questions on this

Hey, where can we see what time those meetings start at? (Probably missed this one already, but curious for the next one)
