Hey folks, I'm the speaker in this video. Happy to answer any questions about IHaskell if you have any! You can install it using `cabal` or `stack` from Github [0].

By the way, if this stuff interests you -- Haskell, data analysis, interactive computing, science, visualization, etc -- please consider joining us at Karius. Karius is the biotech startup where I work, and we do a ton of really cool bioinformatics and high-performance data analysis and use Haskell for some of our infrastructure, and would love to hear from you. See our Who's Hiring post [1] for more info, or contact me!

Big thanks again to Joe for recording this, this was a fun talk to give and I hope you enjoyed it.

Video doesn't really load well for me unfortunately. Is there a youtube mirror or transcript anywhere?

Can you tell me more about how it breaks? If that video is misbehaving it probably means other videos on my site are as well.

Here's a direct link in case it helps https://player.vimeo.com/external/152389902.hd.mp4?s=ec96813...

I get a black screen on Android phone.

Just loading slowly and buffering. Direct link seems to work better for me, thanks.

I assume there's no way to import Diagrams.Prelude in https://try.jupyter.org/ ? I get Failed to load interface for `Diagrams.Prelude'

Interesting. It looks like something that, one day, could replace Mathematica.

I've always hoped Haskell could someday replace R.

Have you seen this?

iPython really brought my Python to another level.

I expect the same to be true for Haskell... those second you spend passing between text editor and GHCi ... those milliseconds you could spend absorbing the basic and deep Haskell idiom
