HaskellX Bytes talk next Tuesday

I'm talking about "Static Analysis in Haskell" at HaskellX Bytes next Tuesday (11th July), in London UK. Registration is free. The abstract is:

Haskell is a strongly typed programming language, which should be well suited to static analysis - specifically any insights about the program which don't require running the program. Alas, while type systems are becoming increasingly powerful, other forms of static analysis aren't advancing as fast. In this talk we'll give an overview of some of the forms of non-type-based static analysis that do exist, from the practical (GHC warnings, HLint, Weeder) to the research (LiquidHaskell, Catch).

I'm a big fan of static analysis, so this will be part summary, part sales pitch, and part call to arms. Followed by beer.

Clarification: I originally got the day wrong, and the url persists the original incorrect day. The talk is on Tuesday 11th July.
