Summer of code is over! Here I keep a list of pointers to relevant work with its respective status. What I ended up doing was somewhat different from my original proposal as we prioritized along the way. It was a huge privilege to work on GHC with my mentors. Over the coming weeks I will gradually close off the work and hopefully get a bunch of this work merged. Overall the community feedback about the novel arrayOf# primitive has been very positive.
