[Haskell-cafe] ICFP Programming Contest (starts in < 1 week)
Update: This year's ICFP programming contest is just 1 week away. You will have to register to participate 72 hours in advance. Do it now! Update: For updates about the contest, follow us on twitter at ICFPContest2013 If you fancy yourself a discriminating hacker, or just want to prove that your programming language of choice is clearly the best, you should plan to participate in the contest now! -- The contest will start at: 1700 PDT on August 8, 2013 ( UTC on August 9, 2013) -- The contest will end at: 1700 PDT on August 11, 2013 ( UTC August 12, 2013). -- You need to pre-register for the contest, 72 hours prior to the contest at the latest A hint for this year: The programming task will involve an element of program synthesis. If you have friends who use languages that are not too shabby, or are just extremely cool hackers, give them a heads up too!

Yikes. Haskell did pretty terribly! Anyone have an idea why, given our success in previous contests?

First class functions: - Give each primitive solid an attribute of type (Point -> Texture), so that the rendering subsystem doesn't need to know about GML closures. - Define a few lifting functions, so that predefined GML operators can be expressed succinctly in terms of their Haskell equivalents. Lazy evaluation: - One of the performance hints in the task description was to avoid texture calculation for shadow rays. Ha! We can just let *those* thunks get garbage collected cheaply, and not write any extra code. Regards, Tom
ICFP programming contest
Hi, I know this is a trivial question, but may I ask who participated in the ICFP programming contest this year? (I mean, from the Haskell community, of course) And which features of the Haskell language helped the most, compared to Caml, C, etc.? // Eijiro Sumii (http://www.yl.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~sumii/) // // Ph.D. Canditate in Dept. of IS, Graduate School of Science, Univ. of Tokyo // Visiting Scholar in Dept. of CIS, School of EAS, Univ. of Pennsylvania
