Functional programming has been at the forefront of a new generation
of programming technologies: Companies employing functional
programming use it to enable more effective, robust, and flexible
software development.

The annual CUFP workshop is designed to serve the growing community of
commercial users of functional programming: Practitioners meet and
collaborate; language designers and users can share ideas about the
future of their languages; experts share their expertise on practical
functional programming.

CUFP 2012 features introductory tutorials by top-notch language
experts, advanced tutorials on specialized topics, and the final day
of talks about industrial applications of functional programming.
