At our first meeting, we
- agreed to read “The Little Typer” through Chapter 4 (but read below), and
- seriously outgrew our space, with twenty participants in a conference room intended for eight.
We'll be moving to JCL 298.
Now that RSS readers are no longer really a thing, we should set up an email list to augment the blog.
I'd also like to suggest a slight extension to our agreement, as I believe it's realistic to work through Chapter 5, and that by doing so, we can possibly hold the “Little Typer” part of our conspiracy to three weeks.
As a final note, I observed during the seminar that the implementation of concat in the book is bogus, as it reverses its second argument. This raises the interesting problem of giving a correct implementation for concat, i.e., a version of append that relies on recursion on its second argument, and uses snoc to post-pend an element to a list. Please try. I have one, and would like to compare solutions next time.

ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. I do use an RSS reader still, but tend to read in chronological order and due to travel am almost 3 weeks behind. Didn't see the new post until just now. :)
Thanks. It's set up now.
