[Caml-list] Call for Participation: CUFP 2013

Hope to see some of you at CUFP this year! The program looks great, with a nice talk by Facebook folks on how they use OCaml to analyze and type their internal PHP codebase.

Commercial Users of Functional Programming (CUFP) 2013 at ICFP 2013;
Boston, MA, Sep 22-24.

Call for Participation

Functional programming has been at the forefront of a new generation
of programming technologies: Companies employing functional
programming use it to enable more effective, robust, and flexible
software development.

The annual CUFP workshop is designed to serve the growing community of
commercial users of functional programming: Practitioners meet and
collaborate; language designers and users can share ideas about the
future of their languages; experts share their expertise on practical
functional programming.

CUFP 2013 begins with a day of talks about industrial applications of
functional programming, followed by two days of tutorials by top-notch
language experts including advanced tutorials on special topics.

More information about CUFP 2013 is available on the CUFP web site at
