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 February 4, at Ruby restaurant in the university district.

For the uninitiated: Functional programming (FP) is a tradition of writing and modeling programs as the composition of mathematical functions.  FP is both a collection of specific language features and a powerful way of thinking and reasoning about computation.  Languages associated with the FP way of thinking include: Lisp, ML, Scheme, Smalltalk, Haskell, Erlang, and Scala.  Finally, the seeds of many progressive and ubiquitous features in C++/Java/C# and relatives are modern renditions of features originally developed by the FP community.

Anyone interested in the application, extension or construction of advanced programming languages - functional or not - is encouraged to come.  We've been meeting every several weeks since June 2004. A typical showing is 6-10 people.  If you think there must be more to life than C++, Java, and C#, please join us!
