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 …

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 …

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...)
