Welcome to the New England F# User Group
Our next F# User Group meeting will be on Monday January 9, 2012 at MS NERD.
Featured Speaker: Mike Burns
Topic: JSON in Haskell: A battle at every step
Abstract: JSON APIs are the hot new thing, and everything from detailed Web apps to quick command-line scripts need to interact with them. There is a tension, though: the vaguely-typed, quick, carefree syntax of JSON can be tedious when put against the statically-typed general syntax of Haskell. In this talk I discuss JSON and this conflict, existing solutions, how to use them, and how this is being used in the Github library for Haskell.
Bio: Mike is an object-oriented, dynamically-typed Web developer by day and functional, statically-typed hacker at night, but is constantly trying to bridge the gaps and find analogies: monads in Ruby, Scala on Android, concrete convenience functions in Haskell, and so on.
