Let's get this thing going then. Perhaps for the first meeting we can all just show up and discuss what we're working on, look at code, etc. We'll be able to get consensus on topics we'd like to hear lectures about. The list posted by Ivan was interesting.
I'm personally working on what could be considered "real world" Haskell applications. I'm building some game simulators (Magic the gathering), a mud client using ncurses and some computational finance tools (modern portfolio theory, etc.). I'm very interested in using Haskell for large scale data processing and have written some programs to do log parsing and statistics, but found that the performance wasn't that great compared to something like perl. Learning how to improve performance of would be an awesome topic to discuss. I'm basically interested in simply hearing other people's experiences and challenges using Haskell. When should we start? I'd hope we would do it in the city. By the train station is fine with me. If we need a new google group setup, I can get it going. -Marshall On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 11:10 AM, Ben <[email protected]> wrote: > > Another "me too". :) > > On Feb 13, 10:14 am, Vlad Patryshev <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I wonder if there is such a thing as BAHUG, Bay Area Haskell User Group, > and > > if it does not, I wonder if there could be enough > enthusiasts/professionals > > to set up such a thing? > > > > -- > > :) > > -Vlad > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to "Bay Area Functional Programmers" To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/bayfp?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
