ICFP 2007 introduced a new category of paper called an &quot;Experience Report&quot;, which is not required to add to the body of research knowledge, but rather report on the effectiveness of functional tools and methods in full-scale projects.&nbsp; You can read the official description in the call for papers:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2008/cfp/cfp.html">http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2008/cfp/cfp.html</a><br>

Hi folks<br>I&#39;m thinking of writing a little essay arguing the case for the<br>advantages of FP for producing quality software. Can the list<br>recommend any papers/articles which I can use as sources of my<br>argument? I have access to the IEEE database too although earlier I<br>

couldn&#39;t find anything on the subject.<br>Thanks, Paul<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Haskell-Cafe mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org" target="_blank">Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org</a><br>
