Looking for something more exotic than Java or C++ ?
Need an oasis of pure computing in an otherwise bleak and desolate week of software engineering?
If you are in St Louis, Alex Miller has something for you: the nascent Lambda Lounge, a monthly celebration of developments in the world of functional and dynamic languages.
As mentioned on the website, the basic idea is to explore new developments in programming languages and libraries. Note that the subjects are not necessarily bound to the JVM or the DLR from dot Net. I'm looking forward to the weird and wonderful stuff at this meeting. The first one is Thursday, December 4. Check the website for details.
On a sidenote, I quite like the logo. I'm not sure of the symbolism of the bits at the top. My interpretation is that they are eyeglasses. If true, I love this because it reminds me of the styles of the chess grandmasters of Europe in the late 19th century, and particularly the cafes in Paris where intellectuals would congregate to discuss philosophy and other subjects.
That said, this meeting will be much less pretentious than those gatherings of yore! No word if there will be sword-play based on heated language debates.
Thanks for the promotion! The idea for the logo was a lambda with sunglasses but hey, I suck at graphic design. :) I'd love to have a resemblance to infinity though.
ReplyDeleteIt kindof looks like a stuffy Englishman with a mustache, which is rad.
