Folks, Commercial Users of Functional Programming Workshop (CUFP) 2009 Functional Programming As a *Means*, Not an *End* Call for Participation Sponsored by SIGPLAN <http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/> Co-located with ICFP 2009 <http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/%7Egmh/icfp09.html> ------------------------------ 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.
