I would like some links that would give such a person a nice overview of the various active areas of FP-related research these days, leaning towards Haskell. I want to give him a fairly broad view of what is interesting and exciting, why various topics are important, where to find ideas for collaboration and applications to other areas, etc.
Some ideas off the top of my head: - Lambda the Ultimate (not Haskell or fp specific) http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/ - Browse recent editions of the Journal of Functional Programming (perhaps they even subscribe to it at the Uni in question) and perhaps TOPLAS. - Browse the recent proceedings of various conferences and workshops such as International Conference on Functional Programming, Trends in Functional Programming, the Haskell Symposium, Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages, Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming, International Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming (and many others). - Check the home pages and blogs of well-known and active researchers (I won't list them). - Maybe http://www.readscheme.org/, though not Haskell specific. (not sure if http://haskell.readscheme.org/ is working anymore). - There's quite a list of papers on haskell.org, under http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Research_papers . Cheers, Bernie.
