Commercial Users of Functional Programming Workshop
(CUFP) 2009
Functional Programming As a Means, Not an End
Call for Participation
4 September 2009
Edinburgh, Scotland
Registration is through
http://www.regmaster.com/conf/icfp2009.html
Functional languages have been under academic development for over
25 years, and remain fertile ground for programming language research.
Recently, however, developers in industrial, governmental, and open
source projects have begun to use functional programming successfully
in practical applications. In these settings, functional programming
has often provided dramatic leverage, including whole new ways of
thinking about the original problem.
The goal of the CUFP workshop is to act as a voice for these users
of functional programming. The workshop supports the increasing
viability of functional programming in the commercial, governmental,
and open-source space by providing a forum for professionals to share
their experiences and ideas, whether those ideas are related to
business, management, or engineering. The workshop is also designed to
enable the formation and reinforcement of relationships that further
the commercial use of functional programming. Providing user feedback
to language designers and implementors is not a primary goal of the
workshop, though it will be welcome if it occurs.
