I haven't been using bluesky much these days but I realized this platform would probably enjoy roasting us for this the most, so re-posting here: avi.press/posts/2026-0...

After 7 years in production, Scarf has reluctantly moved away from Haskell

After 7 years in production, Scarf has reluctantly moved away from Haskell — Avi Press

My usage of AI has changed dramatically over the past month, so it was fun to document a snapshot of my current setup. avi.press/posts/2026-0...

Haskell community! We need everyone to take the state of Haskell survey.

Haskell programming language@haskell.org · 8mo ago

The State of #Haskell 2025 survey is out! Please take ~10 minutes to fill this out and share it with friends/colleagues/coworkers, whether or not they are users of Haskell.

scarf-js is now at 4M weekly downloads on npm and growing quickly. This is your periodic reminder that telemetry in OSS when done properly is Good, actually.

What's @avi.press of the State of Open Con Advisory Board by Openuk saying about it? Save the dates, 3/4 February 2026, to join the UK's open technology conference, stateofopencon.com #soocon26 #opensource #openuk #AI #opensourceai #opendata #openhardware #openstandards #opensourcesoftware

If you're at OpenSearchCon today, I'm giving a talk at 11:25, uncovering lessons from billions (and now, trillions) of open source downloads. Hope to see you there, it will be fun!

I recently talked about how Haskell is still missing good Parquet support. Excited to see how github.com/mchav/datafr... from @mschav.bsky.social develops, looks promising!

Hashicorp did a controversial relicense of some of its OSS. Redhat never did anything like that. Both had great sales to IBM.

I did a double-take on this Haskell Foundation update. Looks like there is another one besides @haskell.org ! This HF also looks like it is doing Good work.

How is open source measured, and what do the numbers tell us about its future? Join Avi Press (@avi.press) on Feb 4 at #SOOCon25 for "The State of Open Source in Numbers" with Brian Douglas, Dawn Foster & Jennifer Barth. Tickets: stateofopencon.com #StateOfOpenCon @openuk.bsky.social

This is a remarkable milestone for us. 10 billion events across OSS documentation views, downloads and telemetry. *0* records of PII are stored, preserving user-privacy even from Scarf itself. Better usage visibility for OSS maintainers -> more sustainable OSS for everyone!

Scarf@scarf.sh · 2y ago

Wow! 10 BILLION open-source usage events through Scarf! From our first billion to now processing 1B events monthly—what a journey. Your trust fuels this growth, transforming open source business sustainability. Here’s to the next billion (and beyond)!

Neat! github.com/seanhess/hyp... Phoenix LiveView is really powerful, cool to see those concepts ported to Haskell.

@clickhouse.com has been one of my favorite pieces of technology that we adopted at @scarf.sh this year. I'll be giving a talk on Thursday about our experience with it so far, and how we use it to deliver real-time analytics on billions of OSS downloads. www.meetup.com/clickhouse-s...

Not bad honestly

With the holiday slowness, I finally have time to fix my borked nix setup! Ever since I upgraded to Sequoia, it's been completely broken. Let's see what happens. So far, both the main installer and determinate nix installer are failing.

Ghostty is really nice so far. Noticeably snappier on my mac.

Would I get notable performance improvements from switching from Spacemacs to Doom Emacs? My workload is 90% org mode + org-roam

Streams on object storage heats up even further: s2.dev

Avi Press@avi.press · 2y ago

I was also not familiar with www.warpstream.com until today but it seems really cool. Kakfa, but on object storage. There's a lot of cool stuff happening on top of object storage right now!

Lofi Girl, the YouTube channel, makes enough money that they are running ads on the Champions Chess Tour right now, that's wild.

MoonBit looks neat, native WASM targeting as well as a comprehensive toolchain as a first-class part of the language seems like a very strong value proposition. www.moonbitlang.com

Blown away to learn that rabbits can die after not eating for just half a day.

Today’s episode of “unexpected things that tik tok has uncovered I enjoy watching”: the best NBA passes of all time?! I had no idea I liked basketball.

I have yet to upgrade macOS versions without nix becoming absolutely broken. From what I can tell, claims that it's getting better on Mac are exaggerated.

One of the world's worst app features: Just got a notification that my dad made a Telegram account. He passed away a few years ago, but I guess it's good to know his old phone number has now been recycled.

Join us at Scarf Summit today! You’ll see the cutting edge in OSS usage analytics, connect with other GTM leaders in the space, and of course, see what #Haskell is doing in production. The scale is large. Registration link in the quoted post.

If the idea of seeing #Haskell thrive in production makes your heart skip a lambda, you’re in for a treat @Scarf.sh Summit is happening today, and it’s packed with insights and success stories—all with a little functional programming magic. 🕒 Dec 10, 3:00PM EST 📍Online about.scarf.sh/webinars/sca...
