You might all appreciate pointers to the recordings of two interesting talks given in the last month or so. They both give insightful accounts on the history of Functional Programming and the lambda calculus, and how we got to where we are now.
- Talk 1 Speaker: Phil Wadler Title: This history of the lambda calculus Venue: SICSA PhD conference, Glasgow Caledonian Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUtUTKgfDbw
Next... there is a 3 day functional programming contest this weekend coming. The ICFP programming contest happens every year, and is a popular international challenge. It's better to participate in teams: http://icfpcontest2012.wordpress.com/
Lastly, don't forget that we've got a talk next Tuesday 10th July at 7pm: Speaker: Sven-Bod Sholz Title: Aiming for HP3: High-Productivity, High-Performance, and High-Portability Details: http://www.edlambda.co.uk/july-meetup---10-07-2012

Is there any sign of Phil Wadler's slides for this talk? ... because I
