I know some of you have already heard about this, but I am starting a
new functional programming users group in Houston and I wanted to
invite all of my Perl friends to come to our first meeting. If you
want to learn more about Scala (because of Stevan Little's moe
project), Clojure, Erlang, Haskell or F#, this is a user community you
should join.
Learning Erlang at my dayjob has vastly improved the way I approach
problem solving and writing Perl code. Also a lot of functional
languages make hard problems (like distributed or asynchronous
computing) easier and/or simpler to solve.
It's this Wednesday, October 16, 2013
6:30-8:30
Pizza included
The topic is "Introduction to Webmachine." Webmachine is a fast and
easy way to build HTTP endpoints in Erlang. It's also been ported to
Perl because it has a ton of awesomely good ideas and we like to steal
from the best. ;-)

Sounds interesting. This is the first I have heard of
Erland. I can't make this meeting, but thanks for
informing us of this.
