Serokell at NixCon 2020

On October 16-18, we participated in NixCon 2020. 

NixCon is an annual conference for contributors and users of [Nix](https://serokell.io/blog/what-is-nix) and NixOS. 

It’s an event we keep participating in every year, [including the previous one](https://serokell.io/blog/serokell-nixcon2019). This year, due to the COVID crisis, it was done remotely. 

One of our employees, Alexander Bantyev, participated with a talk on Nix flakes in production, a thing we have been working for some time now. 

If you’re interested, here’s the talk. You can also see all the other talks of the event on their YouTube channel.

About a week ago, we participated in ZuriHac, the biggest Haskell Hackathon in the world, and want to tell you how it was.

About a week ago, we participated in [ZuriHac](https://zfoh.ch/zurihac2019/), the biggest [Haskell](https://www.haskell.org/) Hackathon in the world. During the event, we visited several talks, the most popular among which were those about GHC, and organized a Morley workshop together with the Tocqueville Group.

The participants of our workshop could use a special [web page](https://morley-zurihac.serokell.io/) to learn about Michelson and Morley as well as check the issues prepared for them. On Saturday and Sunday, all comers had a chance to discuss Michelson, ask questions, read tutorials, set up their working environments and try to solve our issues.

One of the participants, [Sébastien](https://besnier.se/), successfully implemented an [optimizer](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/morley-0.5.0/docs/Michelson-Optimizer.html). He presented his work during the project demos, and it was really impressive. It worked as expected on artificial examples, and it also optimized our DS protocol contract. After ZuriHac, we modified Sébastien’s work a bit and made a [merge request](https://gitlab.com/morley-framework/morley/merge_requests/2), which we’re going to review soon.

Many thanks to all the ZuriHac participants! We love the Haskell community and hope to see you all soon again.
