Quoth Magnus Therning, nevermore,
Ah, damn it, I knew I shouldn't have put that in my mail to them. I just couldn't let them get away with complaining so much about Haskell though.
I'm glad you did. I was getting a bit annoyed as well. One of the presenters also stresses his "hate" of Haskell on the forums, which I find alarming. Hate is quite a strong word!
I'm assuming the hate comes from not fear and not understanding. :-)
I've been known to fake my way through things before so I guess that having written my first piece of Haskell just a few weeks ago won't hold me back too much...
Maybe a good opportunity to put together a Haskell Promotion Pack! ;-)
Yes! Since I put myself in this predicament I was thinking of possible topics for a LugRadio Live presentation. I'm not saying I'd be particularly suited for presenting any Haskell-related topic, but as I said I can probably fake my way through it :-) Not having been to any LugRadio Live ever makes it a little difficult to judge the level of the talks from previous years. It doesn't help that I can't find any archive of presentations/slides/papers on lugradio.org. Anyone who can offer any advice? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus.therning@gmail.com http://therning.org/magnus
