[Caml-list] ML Family workshop: First Call for Participation

[oleg@okmij.org]

Higher-order, Typed, Inferred, Strict: ACM SIGPLAN ML Family Workshop
Thursday September 4, 2014, Gothenburg, Sweden

Call For Participation         http://okmij.org/ftp/ML/ML14.html

Early registration deadline is August 3. Please register at
https://regmaster4.com/2014conf/ICFP14/register.php

This workshop specifically aims to recognize the entire extended ML
family and to provide the forum to present and discuss common issues,
both practical (compilation techniques, implementations of concurrency
and parallelism, programming for the Web) and theoretical (fancy
types, module systems, metaprogramming). We also encourage
presentations from related languages (such as Scala, Rust, Nemerle,
ATS, etc.), to exchange experience of further developing ML ideas.

The workshop is conducted in close cooperation with the
OCaml Users and Developers Workshop  http://ocaml.org/meetings/ocaml/2014/
taking place on September 5.
