Apparently fpmel is on tomorrow, Thursday 1st March.

Who's presenting? I've got some stuff that I can present, if a slot
needs to be filled. If you know what I mean.

Yeah I'm totally void of people who can speak. What can you talk about?

Well, there are a few things I could speak about
depending what the interest is, maybe mix and match:
- A quick tour of Haskell
- How I learned to stop worrying and love
The Curry-Howard Isomorphism
- Some functional pearls
- Monad Madness
- Monad Transformer Transgressions
- Outranked: Rank-2 Types
- Delimited continuations to the limit
(might be a good follow up the the previous
continuations talk)

Anyway, intro to Haskell might be a bit boring if most
of the group knows Haskell already. So get back to me.
I'll have to do a little preparation.

Regards

AK

On the C-H Isomorphism, a topic that fascinates me, we here at BFPG have
considered running a talk where there are two people; a logician and a
programmer -- and they are essentially doing the same thing and the
audience can watch them both simultaneously doing it. The idea would
require the two to stay in sync while one proves a logical theorem and
the other constructs a program.

We've only ever talked about doing something like this at the pub, so no
idea what would happen if someone tried to pull it off!

Just a thought.

That would be very cool, I think it would be a matter of choosing
the right theorem. So that the program-as-proof, and classical proof
would be similar but different in interesting ways.

Let's do it, we'll talk more tonight.
