+\item We are a Computer Architectures group, this has been a Masters' project, no prior experience with Haskell.
+\item \clash{} is written in Haskell, of course
+\item \clash{} is currently meant for rapid prototyping, not verification of hardware desigs
+\item Functional languages are close to Hardware
+\item We can only translate a subset of Haskell
+\item All functions are descriptions of Mealy Machines

+\item: TODO: Integrate this slide with the next two. First, show the picture

+run function, without type signature. Focus is on correspondence to the
+picture.
