That's C lojure\, which "\;feels like a general-purpose language beamed back from the near future."\; Clojure embraces functional programming wit h immutable data types and first class functions. It is fully interopera ble with Java. Clojure's approach to concurrency includes asynchonous Ag ents\, and Software Transactional Memory. Clojure is fast\, elegant\, dy namic\, and scalable: a language for the future\, today.\n(description f rom http://calagator.org/events/1250456403)\n----------\nPJUG meetings s tart with eat+meet+greet time (pizza and beverages are provided)\, follo wed by the featured speaker\, then some time for Q&\;A\, discussion\, and sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)\nIt is not necessary to RSVP\, on Upcoming or otherwise\; go ahead and just show up!\nMany peopl e also go for drinks afterward\, at a location decided on the fly (more often than not\, Jax on 2nd).\nTwitter: @pjug\nWeb: pjug.org\n(feel free to join our mailing list\, linked from the website!)\n\n \n \n \n \n \n  \n\nTags: java\, clojure\, jvm\, functiona l\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250456420 URL:http://pjug.org/ SUMMARY:Portland Java User Group - Clojure: Functional Programming for th e JVM LOCATION:Oracle (Downtown Campus): 1211 SW 5th Avenue\, Suite 800\, Room 8005\, Portland Oregon 97204 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100817T161317Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100819T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100819T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100817T161317Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100817T165536Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250459127 DESCRIPTION:Come join fellow Scala hackers and enthusiasts.

It is used in a n umber of applications and is widely applicable for manipulating tree-sha ped data structures. \;\n \;\nThe traditional zipper suffers from two major limitations\, however. First\, it operates only on homogeneou s types. That is to say\, every node the zipper visits must have the sam e type. In practice\, many tree-shaped types do not satisfy this conditi on\, and thus cannot be handled by the traditional zipper. Second\, the traditional zipper involves a significant amount of boilerplate code. A custom implementation must be written for each type the zipper traverses . This is error prone and must be updated whenever the type being traver sed changes. \;\n \;\nThe generic zipper presented in this talk ov ercomes these limitations. It operates over any type and requires no bo ilerplate code to be written by the user. The only restriction is that t he types traversed must be instances of the Data class from the Scrap yo ur Boilerplate framework. \;\n \;\nBiography \;\nMichael D. Ada ms will be completing his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Indiana Universit y this summer. He has a B.S. in Computer Science\, a B.S in Computer En gineering and a Minor in Mathematics from the University of Kansas. \;\n \;\nHis research interests are the implementation and constructi on of programming languages\, compilers and software analysis tools that help programmers more easily implement\, reason about\, prove correct a nd improve the performance of their programs. This includes areas such as type systems\, static analysis\, control-flow analysis\, compilers an d optimization. \;\n \;\nIn spring 2007\, he worked on the X10 lan guage for an internship at IBM Research. In summer 2007\, he worked on t he Glasgow Haskell Compiler at Microsoft Research. In 2008-2010 he worke d for Cadence Research on the Chez Scheme compiler. \;\n \;\nHe is an avid swing dancer and cyclist.\n\nTags: cs\, functional\, data struc tures\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250460642 URL:http://www.cs.pdx.edu/ SUMMARY:PSU CS Colloquium: Scrap Your Zippers: A Generic Zipper for Heter ogeneous Types LOCATION:Portland State University FAB\, Room 86-09: 1900 SW Fourth Avenu e\, Portland Oregon 97201 US SEQUENCE:4 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120213T180359Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120228T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120228T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120213T180359Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120213T180359Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250461948 DESCRIPTION:First ever meeting for the PDX Erlang user group.

Reality is messier\, but Perl and other high-level languag es support pure functions as a subset of the procedural and OO paradigms \, so why don't we use them more? Functional techniques are good problem solving tools\, useful for event-driven programs\, and can be mixed int o traditional OO and procedural codebases for better code reuse and test ability. \;\n \;\nIn this talk\, we'll look at some benefits of pu rely functional programming from a pragmatic and procedural viewpoint. T here will be absolutely no mention of monads because we will just ride o ur lambdas through the mud and get it done. We'll see how good programmi ng practices tend to suggest stateless and functional approaches. We'll examine techniques for refactoring which separate functions from state c hanges and allow you to better test and reason about your code. Finally\ , we'll look at language interpreters and discuss how technology might b e able to help get even more benefits out of highly functional programmi ng approaches. \;\n \;\nThis is a preview of an upcoming OSCON tal k. \;\n \;\nAs always\, meet us at the Lucky Lab for some beer and good company following the meeting.\n\nTags: perl\, pdx.pm\, functional \, testing\, pdxpm\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250466 612 URL:http://pdx.pm.org SUMMARY:Portland Perl Mongers - Highly Functional Programming LOCATION:Free Geek: 1731 SE 10th Avenue\, Portland OR 97214 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150228T175624Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150304T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150304T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150228T175624Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20150228T175624Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250467981 DESCRIPTION:**"\;Let's get functional... functional."\; -Olambdia Newton-John** \;\n \;\nWe'll be kicking off the first in a series of Elixir Games meetups.
