His interests include the designing of programming languages, especially the functional and esoteric ones, as well as the application of unusual data structures. When not programming, he enjoys reading books ranging from topics such as philosophy to logic and advanced mathematics. Joseph also regularly attends international computer conferences and has even spoken on his Scheme to Go compiler at Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting (FOSDEM).
He has a number of public repositories on GitHub that you should definitely check out by visiting http://github.com/jcla1. He also blogs quite regularly at http://jcla1.com.
William Kong studied at the University of Waterloo, Canada, and holds a bachelor of mathematics degree with a specialization in mathematical finance and a minor in statistics. He has an extensive experience in the Haskell and R programming languages and has worked as a SAS statistical programmer and modeler in the financial risk modeling industry.
William's concentrations have been mainly in the fields of optimization, statistics, and computational mathematics. His current interests lie in the practical application of novel programming paradigms and languages, such as the ever-functional Haskell and the latest newcomer, Julia.
Samuli Thomasson is a Haskell enthusiast who has written software in Haskell for over 3 years, mostly as a hobby and partly for his studies and work. He has built multiple web applications and miscellaneous tools, many of which were written in Haskell. He is currently interested in functional programming, distributed systems, data science, mathematics, and philosophy. He is a student at the Department of Computer Science in the University of Helsinki, and he also works in the Finnish software industry. While pursuing his budding career, he is actively searching for the best topics to learn and specialize in.
He lives in Helsinki, Finland, with his friends. You can take a look at his website by visiting http://funktionaali.com.
