Stan is a command-line tool for analysing Haskell projects and outputting discovered vulnerabilities in a helpful way with possible solutions for detected problems. Stan is searching for not only performance or error-prone code pieces, but it also can help with establishing and applying best-practices from the whole Haskell ecosystem.

Stan has a list of features that make it unique, easy to use and flexible to configure:

- Pretty analysis results, including both HTML and terminal reports
- Suggestions and possible solutions for fixing the existing problems
- Analysing not only Haskell source code, but also information from the .cabal files
- Flexible runtime configuration via TOML and CLI

​​Elixir v1.11 released

Over the last releases, the #elixir team has been focusing on the compiler, both in terms of catching more mistakes at compilation time and making it faster. Elixir v1.11 has made excellent progress on both fronts. This release also includes many other goodies, such as tighter Erlang integration, support for more guard expressions, built-in datetime formatting, and other calendar enhancements.

During this period, we have also started publishing a series of production cases on our website, featuring Elixir’s usage at Brex, Farmbot, and Heroku, with many more cases coming soon.

Features:
- Tighter #erlang integration
- Compiler checks: application boundaries
- Compiler checks: data constructors
- Compilation time improvements
- config/runtime.exs and mix app.config
- And many others!

Carp is a small programming language designed to work well for interactive and performance sensitive use cases like games, sound synthesis and visualizations.

The key features of Carp are the following:

• Automatic and deterministic memory management (no garbage collector or VM)
• Inferred static types for great speed and reliability
• Ownership tracking enables a functional programming style while still using mutation of cache-friendly data structures under the hood
• No hidden performance penalties – allocation and copying are explicit
• Straightforward integration with existing C code
