The 5th International Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming will be in Tartu Estonia (August 14-21).

The program doesn't look very exciting, but I thought y'all might want to take a look anyway.

Given the discussions going on, the lecture on Clean "Dynamics" may be of interest...

But beware, Tartu is a small pretty town, so there is almost no place for noisy programmers :-( Last time I was there, they refused to serve bear in a pub because it was too late (it was not dark yet).

On the other side, it is pretty indeed. If you value lambdas not less than stouts and ales... ;-)

If it was my pub I would refuse to serve bears too, they tend to get too noisy and leave lots of fur behind.

Oh my, when finally I will learn spelling :-( English is tougher than Java...

Let me assure both of you that your English is vastly superior to 98% of Americans'... well... anything other than English!

Well, any programming system in which one writes code like
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

( n : Nat ! data (---------! where (------------! ; !-------------! ! Nat : * ) ! zero : Nat ) ! suc n : Nat ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


( x, y : Nat ! let !----------------! ! plus x y : Nat ) plus x y <= rec x { plus x y <= case x { plus zero y [] plus (suc n) y => suc (plus n y) } } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


inspect plus (suc (suc zero)) (suc (suc zero)) => suc (suc ?) : Nat ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


is exciting in my view... (that's Epigram, on the AFP program)
