Hi folks,
first of all, let me introduce myself. I am Marek Bernat, I studied physics in Prague, worked for a few software companies there and recently moved to Brno to work with an amazing Haskell team here and was delighted to discover FPBrno as well.

I'd love to give a talk about type theory (which I am a huge fan of), since it is a great tool for understanding relations between and various features of functional languages but I'm not sure how well-suited it is for this group. Would anyone be interested in something like that (meaning perhaps a bit less practical)?

In case the answer to the above is no, I also like Functional Pearls (be sure to check it out if you haven't yet!), so I could give a talk about some cool functional algorithms or data structures.

Cheers,
Marek

P.S.: If you haven't yet, please consider joining out our new Meetup group. Besides being another channel for finding other FP enthusiasts, it might be a good place for scheduling events (as opposed to ad-hoc Doodles here).

Wait, what is not practical about type theory? :-) This is something I would love to attend.

Same big YES here.

How about at least one of both? Maybe not on the same meetup, though.


Cheers,
Peter

Hi .*,

I must say, I'm interested in both. So, if it is possible, give as some talk,
pleas ;).

BTW: I'm really excited about the way this whole group is heading. Let's keep
it up ;).

Cheers,
Honza

Hi,

I would also be interested in both talks :-).

Cheers,

Hey,
thanks for the encouraging words. So I'll try to prepare something about the type theory first.
The topic is huge, so I'll probably cover just the basics and/or applications to real-world languages and we'll see how it works.

Cheers,
Marek
