Hello Cafe,
Thanks to all of you who provided ideas and suggestions for introducing
Haskell. I finally went the simple way, presenting the knapsack problem
slightly reframed using tapas (spanish dishes). This problem is small
enough to fit in the 5 minutes time-frame and it actually illustrates
Yes, but in 5 minutes I take it they won't have time to ask questions
before your presentation is over.
I haven't thought about parallel computing but it's one of the many assets
of the language.
The problem IMHO with STM is that it relies on too many Haskell elements to
be grasped in 5 minutes.
Great ! Good to have some support. Hope you will like it, I think I got
something worthwhile that fits in 5 minutes flat.

and right in haskell-cafe:
Where exactly does that event take place?
Is it open to public?
And I strongly disadvise fibonacci, quicksort and other mind-blowing
reality-escapist stuff. Show something real world and practical.

You could try the JSON parser exercise. (

pretty good power-showing library.

Thanks Yves for your advice. And I agree with you that too much laziness
may be mind-blowing for most of the audience, yet this is one of the
characteristics of Haskell, whether or not we like it and whatever troubles
it can induce.
I really think the knapsack is simple, not too far away from

Thanks for your support. I would really like to do this but 1) the talk is
tomorrow evening and 2) I do not have time in the interval to learn yesod
and/or gloss enough to be confident that I will not botch anything in a 5
minutes time frame.

Well, solving knapsack problem in a couple lines of code looks really fun
and instructive.
Thanks Ertugrul for suggesting Yesod. This is definitely a great tool for
creating web applications but I fear that's too much to swallow in 5
minutes. And thanks also Jason for reminding me of the gems one
