Good meeting!

I recommend watching some talks by Phillip Wadler. He's worked with peyton-jones on a number of projects (including Haskell) and tries to be a Bill Nye sort of dude for computer science.

Some interesting stuff, with video

-a cute explanation of logic stuff in type systems (3 minutes)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYeys_in_Ng

-his tech talk on proving program correctness ( an hour)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4167170843018186532

-Peyton-jones's book on langauge design, with some chapters by Wadler. I've used this as source for a Haskell to Clojure translator I've been writting.

And the rest of Peyton-jones's papers, there is lots of useful stuff here

I'm sorry that I had to leave early tonight. My wife is pretty sick,
and I have to take care of her. We were hoping it would be better
today but no such luck.

In any case I am looking forward to the notes and what the next paper
will be. I really enjoyed "Tackling the Awkward Squad." I feel like i
understand what a monad is now. :)

I'll see you all in a couple weeks!

Yours,
Trevor
