Awesome

This repository contains a set of documents I wrote in the context of a personal project I had to present to get my Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Liège, Belgium. It's not related to my Master's thesis.

They describe how I implemented friday, an image processing library for Haskell. The library uses quite advanced functional programming tricks to implement features like automatic parallelization of algorithms or the ability to fuse a chain of image processing algorithms in single efficient loops.

The target audience was composed of professors who didn't had any extensive experience with functional programming. I wrote these documents in such a way that they can be understood by programmers having only experience with statically typed programming languages (like C++, Java or C#). I think it could be an interesting short read (about 20 printed pages) for such people who are curious about what can be achieved with functional programming languages.

Pardon my English, I'm not a native speaker.
