It looks like the Functional Programming conference in Portland on September 18-20, 2006 is finally open for registration. The base fee is $450; each...

See you there . . . SeaFunc is Seattle. SeaFunc is functional. Functional language. Functional PRO-gramming. We shall attempt to adjust your software, as there...
I can present the work of these fellows: http://www.ephemeralsecurity.com/ whom I saw speak yesterday at DefCon. Honestly the combination of tech that they put...
Anyone planning on going? I probably am, but don't know what to expect. Haven't registered yet. Might consider carpooling -- if I can buy my way out of...
I can't compare. I've only seen Whale Rider and never considered going to see any version of Scooby-Doo [;<). About ICFP. I've been doing the math and...
Brief update on facts. I had met Ruth Davis and John Allen in an earlier year at a San Francisco conference on CP/M at Moscone. That is why it was convenient...
... Motels in Portland aren't as cheap as one would like. I just went there for signature gathering, didn't do well, and bolted because I wasn't willing to...
I made my reservations and travel arrangements for ICFP 2006. I'm taking the train to Portland on Friday, September 15, and returning on Friday, September 22. ...

I'm not sure I understand. There is registration for the ICFP conference and for the workshops. http://regmaster2.com/conf/icfp2006.html The fees vary for...
So I am curious if there is a Lisp dialect out there that actually encourages non-functional and possibly object-oriented programming, in the style of, say...
... Odd question. I'd say all of them. Common Lispers typically use CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System. ... Um, yes, that's Lisp. Lisp only has nominal...
... Good point. I guess I really looking for a sexp-based Python, or something really close to that. One simple difference between CLOS and Python that...
... I think consistency of support and community for a language, far outweigh minor syntactic comfort levels. If you ask Lispers about what's wrong with your...
I'm in the process of resurrecting my C++ spherical hexified icosahedron code. I'm discovering lotsa ISO-isms as I compile on MinGW. Originally I developed...

... I really don't need another ISO C++ compiler though. I run MinGW, Cygwin, and VS .NET 2003, 2 out of 3 of which are pretty ISO compliant. What I really...
The VC++ Express Edition includes a full C++ IDE. What the Express editions lack is a multi-language IDE. I suspect you are confusing the VC++ Express with the...
... I could have sworn there's some wrinkle here, but in the future I may investigate. At present, I'd prefer the fully optimizing compiler output of VS .NET...
I use Visual C++ Express Edition from its IDE all of the time. It is also a fully-optimizing compiler, although only for x86 (no 64-bit support). You have to...

Hmm, so the deal for me with ICFP is I could probably get work time/$ to go except that I just got work time and money to go to KDD last week. Which was very...
