Haskell.org and the Haskell Foundation Join Forces | The Haskell Programming Language's blog
The members of the Haskell.org Committee (the Committee) and the directors of the Haskell Foundation (the Foundation) are pleased to announce that we have joined forces, with the aim (subject to regulatory approval) of merging Haskell.org, Inc. and Haskell Foundation, Inc. into a single not-for-profit corporation. Together we continue our common mission to advance functional programming and to advocate for the Haskell language, its ecosystem, and its community.
The Committee has a long history of supporting the Haskell community and ecosystem, supervising the resources under the "haskell.org" domain, including the www.haskell.org website, Hackage, Discourse, and the Haskell mailing lists, as well as organizing events such as Haskell.org’s participation in Google Summer of Code and the Haskell Summer of Code.
The Foundation is a newer organization, dedicated to broadening the adoption of Haskell by supporting its ecosystem of tools, libraries, education, and research. It has had similar goals to Haskell.org, and been engaged in complementary activities. Amongst its activities, it facilitates cross-team collaboration on fundamental tooling (e.g. Cabal, Stack, GHCup and the Haskell Language Server), hosts Stackage, financially supports the development of essential ecosystem components (e.g. the GHCup project and Botan bindings), runs workshops that help new contributors to fundamental tooling, and actively seeks financial sponsorship to help fund these efforts.
