+title: 2026 Haskell Workshop Videos Now Online
+---
+
+Couldn't make it to Rapperswil, or want to revisit a talk? The recordings from
+this year's [Haskell Implementors' Workshop](/events/2026-haskell-implementors-workshop.html)
+and [Haskell Ecosystem Workshop](/events/2026-haskell-ecosystem-workshop.html)
+are now available online. Both workshops were held on the lakeside campus of
+the University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland (OST) in Rapperswil
+on June 4th and 5th, alongside ZuriHac, and hosted by the Haskell Foundation.
+
+## Haskell Implementors' Workshop
+
+The Haskell Implementors' Workshop is a forum for everyone interested in the
+design and development of Haskell implementations, tools, libraries, and
+supporting infrastructure — whether you build them or just want to follow
+along. Watch the
+[Haskell Implementors' Workshop 2026 playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV9Q98f69SkA).
+
+This year's program ranged from the state of the compiler to concrete tooling
+you can use today:
+
+- **GHC Status Report** — Andreas Klebinger
+- **Stable Haskell**, on making GHC easier to build and ship — Julian Ospald
+- **MicroHs Dead or Alive? — A status report** — Lennart Augustsson
+- **Lightweight profiling with `ghc-stack-profiler`** — Hannes Siebenhandl
+- **Evolving the Haskell Debugger** — Rodrigo Mesquita
+- **Is There a Future for a Formally Specified Haskell Report** — David Binder
+- **Towards better implicit parameters** — Lorenzo Tabacchini
+- **GHC String interpolation** — Brandon Chinn
+
+The recordings also include a round of lightning talks. See the [workshop
+page](/events/2026-haskell-implementors-workshop.html) for the full schedule and
+abstracts.
+
+## Haskell Ecosystem Workshop
+
+The Haskell Ecosystem Workshop is for everyone interested in using Haskell to
+build real-world tools and applications — from side projects to large
+production systems. Speakers share hard-won lessons on developing and
+maintaining Haskell software, and stay around during ZuriHac to answer
+questions and dig into the details. Watch the
+[Haskell Ecosystem Workshop 2026 playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLApZHRDK3cFc).
+
+The talks:
+
+- **Optimising for fast builds with GHC** — Teo Camarasu
+- **Servant at Bitnomial — Expanding type-safety from applications to systems** — Laurent P. René de Cotret
+- **Why you should want to contribute to the Haskell Ecosystem** — Andreas Klebinger
+- **Flora** — Théophile Choutri de Tarle
+- **50,000 Lines of LLM Haskell: What Broke, What Held, and Letting Go** — Jappie Klooster
+- **Stackage: a community Haskell source package distribution** — Jens Petersen
+- **Haskell Security** — Fraser Tweedale (published at a later date)
+
+The full program is on the
+[workshop page](/events/2026-haskell-ecosystem-workshop.html).
+
+Enjoy!
