Functional Programming for the Real World - CANCELED!

Bryan O'Sullivan (Serpentine Green Design)

11:35am Thursday, 07/23/2009

Emerging Topics, Programming
Location: Ballroom A3/A6

Languages like Erlang, Haskell, Scala and Clojure have been gaining visibility rapidly over the past few years. Our panel will discuss the advantages and challenges of developing and deploying software using functional languages. How do coding, QA, and maintenance change in this world? Would any of them trade their chosen language for another functional language, or return to a more traditional approach?
