> David Pollak (whom many of you probably know by his work in Scala
> community) proposed to give a talk at our next meeting, which we're going
> to have on January 18. David is going to talk about his project Visi:

> Visi is a new language... a "what if Haskell and Excel" had a love-child
> kind of language.  Visi is pure, lazy, just like Excel, yet Visi is
> statically typed, like Haskell.  Visi's syntax is beautiful, in a
> Haskell/Python sort of way, yet inviting to spreadsheet users.  Visi is
> targeted as a HyperCard-like language for the iPad and the cloud, but with
> a firm grounding in computer science that has evolved since the mid-80s.
>  Visi is built in Haskell and takes advantage of the GHC platform.  David
> Pollak, the inventor of the real-time spreadsheet, founded the Visi project
> which can be found at http://visi.io.

> The meeting place is our usual place in SoMa, kindly provided by Engine
> Yard:

> 500 Third Street, Suite 510
> San Francisco, CA 94107

> Contact phone (mine): 650-762-6644.
> Host's phone (Larry's): 407-718-7665.

> Please arrive a little bit earlier, so that we could start at 7pm sharp.

> We may try to set up the video feed through Google Hangout (I will post a
> public link in my G+ if we do that before the meeting starts), however
> please don't rely on it and try to visit the meeting in person if possible.
> If you are going to be joining the hangout, please mute your microphone
> before you join.

> Some people will be going from the South Bay (and probably East Bay) to
> the meeting and back, so there's a possibility of carpooling. Also, it's
> very easy to get to Engine Yard from the Caltrain station (4th & King Str)
> and Embarcadero/Powell BART stations. Please send me a message if you need
> help figuring out transportation. If you are driving and can take some
> people from East/South Bay to the meeting and back, please send a message
> to the bahaskell@googlegroups.com mailing list.

> Please retweet/post to reddit/forward this email to those who may be
> interested in attending. If you plan to attend and you're not yet
> subscribed, please subscribe to BAHaskell Google Group to follow all the
> discussions related to this meeting (if you have troubles with the captcha
> while joining, please send me a direct email).

> Cheers,
