Liveblogging CUFP 2013
I'm here at the Commercial Users of Functional Programming workshop at ICFP 2013) with Heidi Howard, David Sheets and Leo White.
Marius Eriksen and Michael Sperber are co-chairing this year. Functional programming is a hot topic these days, and this year's program reflects the maturing nature of the program. Record number of submissions, and we could easily have made this a multi-day program.  Videos will be available online after the event.
Keynote is from Dave Thomas on what we can learn from the "language wars of the past". Â His talk will cover the business, social and technical ends of building Smalltalk and his "objaholic" experiences with pushing language technology into businesses, where they never had any intention of changing in this regard. Â This worked over the years because it made a material difference to these businesses. Â Dave still uses the K programming a lot at work.
Blogging OSDI 2012 — Day 1
For the next couple of days, I am attending OSDI in Hollywood. However, due to various scheduling constraints on both sides of the Atlantic, I only arrived there at lunch time on Monday, and missed the first session. Fortunately, in addition to my  delay-tolerant "live blog" from the plane, where I read the first session's papers, Derek Murray was kind enough to take some notes on the actual talks. Normal live-blogging service of the talks will be provided for the other days! :)
