SeaFunc is Seattle. SeaFunc is functional. Functional language.
Functional PRO-gramming. We shall attempt to adjust your software, as
there is something wrong. You're in a C funk. Get out of your C funk.
Stumble on down to the best Belgian booze around.
The Mothership lands at 8 pm on Tuesday, Nov. 29th, at the Stumbling
Monk in Capitol Hill.
To receive timely meeting announcements by e-mail, including where we
will be meeting, subscribe to the mailing list at
http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/SeaFunc
For the uninitiated: "Functional Programming" (FP) treats computation
as the symbolic substitution of functions. Solving problems by making
changes to program state is often avoided. Common Lisp, Scheme,
Standard ML, OCaml, Haskell, and Clean are examples of FP languages.
Anyone interested in the design or use of advanced programming
languages - functional or not - is encouraged to come. We've been
meeting consistently since June 2004. We always have 8-10 people, so
many good networking contacts can be gained. SeaFunc aims to be the
premiere group in the Seattle region for advanced programming language
paradgims. If you think there must be more to life than C++, Java, and
C#, please join us!
Stumbling Monk
1635 E Olive Way
Seattle, WA 98102
(206) 860-0916
Notes: the Monk is in Capitol Hill, at the corner of Olive and Belmont.
The B&O Restaurant is a better known landmark and is kitty-corner to
it. The non-descript storefront says "Typing" on the awning. The Monk
has a fantastic rotating menu of high-octane Belgian beers at
reasonable prices! No food, but you can bring in or order in. We are
evolving a tradition of taking turns bringing our own food; for
instance, brie and crackers.

Did you get any takers? In my experience, it takes a quorum of 3
reliable people to get a group going. If 3 people always show up to
meetings, then the group can grow. Also, it might help if you told
people where "elsewhere" is meant to be in your case. :-)

Tim May and nallen05 were interested in the SF Bay area.

well, if there is anything going on in the SF Bay area,
I'd be interested too (that is, if newbies are ok)

"Bay Area Lispniks" used to meet for lunch or dinner roughly
once a month [mostly in Berkely/Oakland, though sometimes in
San Francisco or down on the Peninsula], though activity has
been low-to-zero since March. [I suspect a lot of energy went
into both the PCL release and ILC 2005, and it needs to be
jumpstarted again.]

Yes. Eerily quiet. One of these days I'll try to get my act together.
