Lambda the Ultimate

Libraries are central to all major scientific, engineering, and business areas, yet the design, implementation, and use of libraries are underdeveloped arts. This workshop is one of the first steps in the process of placing all aspects of libraries on a sound technical and scientific basis through research into fundamental issues and documentation of best practices.

I think this is an important subject. Take a look at the CFP and see if you can contribute something!

I think languages have some way to go in order to enable really good libraries. Among the topics mentioned in the CFP that are of particular interest are: Design of language facilities and tools in support of library definition and use; Extensibility, parameterization, and customization; Distribution of libraries;
Specification of libraries and their semantics.
