oct 11th: combined Haskell/Scala meetup?
Chris Eidhof
I've been e-mailing with one of the organizers of the Scala meetups. We are thinking of organizing a meetup somewhere in October, I suggested to use our planned date (Oct 11th). What do you think of this?
Also: do you have things you would like to see in such a meetup? Would you like to present something? I'm looking forward to your comments.

Great!

That's fine with me.

I would like to see some cool library designed in Scala that really takes advantage of the language features.
Would you like to present something? I'm looking forward to your comments.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to prepare something. But I think it would be nice for somebody to give a tutorial of something cool in Haskell. Should we expect the Scala enthusiasts to have little to zero Haskell experience?

I know next to nothing about Scala, but would like to learn something.
Like Sean, I'd like to see some library or application that
demonstrates Scala's unique features.
I.e. Scala's version of the `map` function isn't very interesting, but
I'm interested in what traits are (are they like type classes?), or
how Scala deals with the JVM's type system.
Similarly, a "Haskell 101" introduction to might not be interesting to
people already familiar with functional programming. Rather focus on
some unique aspect of Haskell, like the benefits of lazy evaluation.
I'm looking forward to this meeting!

That will probably vary quite a bit.
Last Scala meet there were a bit over half a dozen people (the hard core I suppose), and we looked at Monads in Scala.
Quite a few people have had at least some exposure to Haskell or a similar language at university.

something that would tempt me to come along, as someone who knows haskell
but not much about scala, would be some kind of "here's a neat thing you
can do in scala that you can't (easily) do in haskell". I don't know what
that thing is, of course ;)

That is exactly what the paper for which i sent the url aims to do,

The meeting will be at the Uithof, we haven't decided yet on the exact time (somewhere between 18:00 and 19:00). I'll keep you posted!

Although I don't really know whether this question is meant as survey or just a statement, I definitely prefer 19:00. That really would make a trip from work to the Uithof less stressful.
See y'all next week!
