Try recording your meeting notes on the seafunc.org wiki. Alteratively, we have the googlegroup "seafunc" reserved for the same purpose and may migrate there in the future.

Description

SeaFunc is Seattle. SeaFunc is functional. Functional language. Functional programming. We shall attempt to adjust your software, as there is something wrong. You're in a C funk. Get out of your C funk.

The Mothership lands at 8 pm on Wednesday, every 2 weeks, alternating between Seattle and the east side. Venues include:

  • Ralph's grocery in Belltown
  • Ruby's restaurant in the University District
  • Overlake Red Robin in Bellevue

Check the recent postings for the current schedule. The yahoo calendar is not used. Here are some Details on some SeaFunc venues. To receive timely meeting announcements by e-mail, including where we will be meeting, subscribe to the mailing list.

For the uninitiated: "Functional Programming" (FP) treats computation as the symbolic substitution of functions. Solving problems by making changes to program state is often avoided. Common Lisp, Scheme, Standard ML, OCaml, Haskell, and Clean are examples of FP languages.

Anyone interested in the design or use of advanced programming languages - functional or not - is encouraged to come. We've been meeting consistently since June 2004. SeaFunc aims to be the premiere group in the Seattle region for advanced programming language paradgims. If you think there must be more to life than C++, Java, and C#, please join us!

Re: computer language comparisons (expressivity vs speed)
I think one way to deal with the problem of high speed but ugly code would be to change the acceptance criterion. Instead of just keeping the fastest solution

Re: computer language comparisons (expressivity vs speed)
... The benchmarks seem to be saying that some bottlenecks are not going to be optimized away, at least not in the languages themselves. I guess if one

Re: computer language comparisons (expressivity vs speed)
... Good point. As I mentioned in another recent post it seems a bit disingenuous to use these programs as measures of 'expressivity' in that case. ... Yep,
