Haskell has become the functional programming language of choice for many developers due to its excellent tools for abstraction and principled program design. The open source Clash hardware description language unlocks these features for FPGA design as well. Retrocompuing with Clash takes the experienced Haskell programmer on a journey into the world of hardware design with Clash. Our approach is based on using Haskell to its fullest potential, using abstractions like monads and lenses in building a library of reusable components.
But that wouldn't put the fun in functional programming! And so we put these components to good use in implementing various retro-computing devices:

A desktop calculator
Pong
A simple, but Turing-complete computer that uses Brainfuck as its machine code
An implementation of the CHIP-8 virtual computer specification
An Intel 8080 CPU
Space Invaders arcade machine
Compucolor II, a home computer from 1977 complete with keyboard, color video, and a floppy drive
