      <title>Freiburg in October: Scheme, Dylan, and probability monads</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Good morning! I&amp;#8217;ll be in Freiburg for several events this October, including &lt;a href="http://cufp.galois.com/"&gt;CUFP&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac_2007_II"&gt;Haskell Hackathon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Commercial Users of Functional Programming (CUFP)&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On October 4th, I&amp;#8217;ll be speaking at &lt;a href="http://cufp.galois.com/"&gt;CUFP &amp;rsquo;07&lt;/a&gt;, describing the use of Scheme in a real-world multimedia engine. Some likely topics:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How we switched to Scheme (and why refactoring is your friend).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How our artists learned to program in Scheme (it&amp;#8217;s all about the tools).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The tension between functional programming and objects: Can we have both?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Dylan Beer Night&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once upon a time, I dreamt of &lt;a href="http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/reports/abstracts/TR2001-404/"&gt;generic functions&lt;/a&gt; and built RPMs for &lt;a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19990125095755/http://www.gwydiondylan.org/"&gt;Gwydion Dylan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some current and former Dylan hackers are hoping to meet in Freiburg, most likely on October 4th. If you&amp;#8217;re at ICFP or one of the workshops, we&amp;#8217;d love to hear from you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Haskell Hackathon&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ll be at the &lt;a href="http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac_2007_II"&gt;Haskell Hackathon&lt;/a&gt; from Friday to Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Perhaps it&amp;#8217;s time to whip &lt;a href="http://www.randomhacks.net/darcs/probability/"&gt;Control.Monad.Probability&lt;/a&gt; into shape?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
