Alexis has "had the opportunity for the past couple months at Tweag to work on optimizing the compile time performance of GHC - the Haskell compiler - and one of the things that has come up a number of times, while [she has] been working on this, is that people don't have a super great idea about how it is that [she] actually optimize[s] a Haskell program and how [she]'d recommend that other people optimize a Haskell program."

She acknowledges that is a broad subject and that it is easy to get the wrong idea that there is one, singular answer. In this video, she presents "one example of optimizing a Haskell program in some particular way that really focuses on a particular approach - which, in this particular example, is going to involve looking at GHC core."
