Starting at midnight on Saturday morning, June 28th, you can prove once again that your favourite programming language is "the programming tool of choice for discriminating hackers!" Don't miss this opportunity -- check out the contest web site at http://icfpcontest.org for details -- and the tiniest little hint of this year's problem. John Hughes ----8<----[snip]----8<---- Notice: I'm posting this for JH, due to network trouble. Please direct any complaints about topicality to me. If you follow up, please consider the groups you reply to (comp.lang.functional *may* be a good choice if you want to discuss the contest itself, language specific discussion should go to the appropriate groups; use sound judgement). In spite of the word "functional" appearing, the contest is specifically open to any (sufficiently portable) tool or language, and part of the fun is to discuss how the features of various languages helped/hampered implementors. I hope everybody with a favorite language will give it a shot! (There have been previous contests, Google will probably tell you where to find more information) -kzm
