The J programming language is unlike any other.  It offers powerful tools for algorithm expression and experimentation by incorporating high-level data manipulation concepts as a logical, consistent notation. This allows you to quickly explore complex problems and express solutions succinctly. J is a functional language but with imperative forms for flexibility. J's concise notation and interactivity speed up algorithm development by orders of magnitude compared to more conventional languages. T …

Socially Functional is a meetup group for programmers that like to chat/scheme/vent about functional programming.

Semi-regular tutorials/discussions about OCaml language features and libraries. A meetup should ideally center around a topic which (1) contains some interesting core idea, (2) helps us get stuff done, (3) is reasonably accessible to people without a ton of OCaml experience (but who might be familiar with other MLs, Haskell, Scheme, etc...)

Based on our experience running a funded e-commerce startup headquartered in New York City, we believe that the traditional disciplines of technology, product and marketing will increasingly converge in the startup setting. If you're currently working at a startup on the bleeding edge of innovation, this is not news to you. It's happening all around us. In some cases, professionals choose to take on a mix of these skills themselves, while in other cases it's more about a professional fully embra …

Most of us agree that most people, in this day and age, are under a toxic load.  We are constantly exposed to environmental toxins not only in industrial chemical exposures, but in our every day life including our food, laundry detergent, hair care products, etc but in the air we breath, the water we drink and the beds we lay in. The cost of these toxins is not completely understood nor should it be underestimated!  Toxins have the capacity to rewire us - to change our thoughts, behaviors and de …

In this group we'll make our way through the book "Seven Languages in Seven Weeks: A Pragmatic Guide to Learning Programming Languages," by Bruce Tate. It's a quick deep-dive into seven very different languages: Ruby, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, Clojure and Haskell. I know almost nothing about these languages myself -- I'm a JavaScript guy with some very limited exposure to Ruby -- and do not expect to become an expert in any of them overnight, but I am excited to dive into paradigms I know nothi …
