The Two Crows: Haskell and Jaskell

This month's meeting will feature Barry Burd demonstrating the functional programming languages, Haskell and Jaskell. Haskell is a very pure, very elegant programming language, and Jaskell is a port of Haskell to the Java JVM. This talk explores the important features of Haskell, emphasizing the differences between functional and non-functional programming. Near the end of the talk, we throw a bone to the Java contingent by exploring Haskell on the JVM.
