[toronto-lisp] Lisp & Haskell
Hello all, Christopher: The Toronto Lisp Users Group's (TLUG) monthly meeting place has been closed down. Lispers: Christopher has been organizing a Haskell / functional programming night once a month at the hacklab. (hacklab.to) Maybe you could both could join forces? I know it's not perfectly ideal, but I think that it would be a good meeting of like minded people. If I'm not mistaken, the TLUG meets on the first Tuesday of every month. Unfortunately, that's the hacklab's open house. Again, if I'm not mistaken, the Haskell group has been meeting on the first Wednesday of every month. Christopher: Would it be possible to hold a Functional Programming Users Group on the first Wednesday of every month, and include the Lispers? Lispers: Would meeting on the first Wednesday of every month at the hacklab be okay? (Yes, I know that Lisp doesn't imply functional programming - but maybe non-functional Lispers could be made welcome?) (And yes, I'm just throwing this out there.) As an aside: I think fans of Dave Cooper's GDL / Genworks might be interested in Chritopher's ImplicitCAD: https://github.com/colah/ImplicitCAD Sorry if this is unwelcome / doesn't work out. I just thought it might be a natural fit. Cheers, -- Bryce Moore
Bryce's suggestion can certainly be discussed at the next meeting(s) or on this mailing list. I think it would be fair to withhold any decision until after summer and when all of the "regulars" have had a chance to chime in. Lately, the ToLUG meetings have been wide ranging, but we did have meetings that dealt with specific Lisp issues and Lisp demos. If we got a room with a projector, we might go back to that style of meeting... Are the Haskell meetings also as wide ranging, or would they be "diluting" the content if a bunch of lisp-oriented issues were brought in? pt
Hi folks, I think we (WaveAcounting) can host it. We have a nice patio with tables and all that. If it starts raining we'll just move inside. Snacks and soda drinks is on us. Interested? -Mike On 2012-08-03, at 1:05 PM, Paul Tarvydas wrote:

Almost all of my recent work has been in Haskell. Despite that, I am still infatuated with CL. Although keeping active with both tests my intellectual capacity somewhat, I seem to be incapable of entering into a monogamous relationship with any one programming language. In September I intend to return to TLUG meetings (whatever the venue) and also start attending the Haskell/FP sessions. I will be happy enough if this turns out to be a joint session, since I have to drive in from Burlington. To be discussed further, I guess.
