Ericsson Functional Programming Seminar

Ulf Wiger posted another great article on his blog, this time about a seminar on functional programming which was held at Ericsson on February 21st, 2008.

The list of speakers is indeed impressing:

• Simon Peyton-Jones, Microsoft Research
  
• Satnam Singh, Microsoft Research
  
• John Hughes, Chalmers
  
• John Launchbury, Galois

Ulf provides slides (pdf) and videos (flv) of the talks.

I have read some of the slides and it looks very interesting, e.g. Simon talking about
contracts and John Launchbury talking about the Galois company.
