functional programming contest

2002-04-04 Thread Andre W B Furtado

I was visiting http://www.ai.mit.edu/extra/icfp-contest/ and noticed that
there was a functional programming contest in ICFP 98. I'd like to know if
there are any periodic functional progamming contests around the world, such
as the ACM contest for the C language.

There's been one associated with ICFP every year from 1998 onward.
Most recently:

http://cristal.inria.fr/ICFP2001/prog-contest

(I can't get through to check that URL at the moment, but it did work
OK last July.)

Yes, and there will be one this year too. Tim Sheard is organising it.

ICFP Functional Programming Contest

 ICFP Functional Programming Contest
 ---

Convinced your favorite functional programming language provides
unbeatable productivity?  Perhaps it's just the case that functional
programming languages attract better programmers than other
languages ... and you and your friends are the best of the best.

If so, we've provided you the opportunity to prove it! The ICFP
steering committee has designed a programming contest to be conducted
in conjunction with ICFP'98. All programmers are invited to enter
the contest; we especially encourage students to enter teams.

We've designed the programming contest for direct, head-to-head
comparison of language technology and programming skill. We have
a range of prizes for the winners: cash awards, free conference
registrations to ICFP'98 in Baltimore, famous texts on functional
languages donated and autographed by the authors, and, of course,
unlimited bragging rights.

We request interested applicants to register before the contest starts
on Thursday, August 27, 1998.

For more details, please see the ICFP Functional Programming Contest page:
