... there have been no submissions accepted in the `application letters' category for the Haskell workshop.
that seems strange indeed. two reasons come to mind: a) there ARE no proper real world applications of Haskell (only a rather large number of so called pearls) b) these things do exist, but their programmers don't have the time/energy/whatever to write a proper paper about them (for a "real world" conference - that is, a theory conference :-) if a) then it is bad for Haskell as a whole, if b) then a lot of work remains unpublished, and thus gets lost (or repeated) (my view sure is biased since I somehow belong to category b) above - my main job is to do research and teaching, not programming and documenting) -- -- Johannes Waldmann ---- http://www.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~joe/ -- -- joe@informatik.uni-leipzig.de -- phone/fax (+49) 341 9732 204/252 --
