DESCRIPTION:Title: Designing\, visualizing and benchmarking data structur
 es in Haskell&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAbstract: Understanding how functional lang
 uages represent data structures is key to writing efficient programs in 
 such languages. There are a number of new tools in the Haskell ecosystem
  for understanding what the compiler is doing: vacuum - for visualizing 
 the heap\, criterion - for statistically sound benchmarking\, and powerf
 ul new type system features enabling new kinds of library design. This t
 alk will introduce these tools\, and we'll look at how they impact the w
 ay we develop new data structures in Haskell.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nBio: Don is
  an Australian open source hacker\, and engineer at Galois\, Inc\, in Po
 rtland\, where he works on assurance in critical systems. Don is co-auth
 or of the book\, Real World Haskell (http://realworldhaskell.org)\, and 
 the XMonad window manager. He enjoys cycling and hoppy beer.&#13\;\n&#13
 \;\nGROUP: Join programmers\, researchers and enthusiasts to discuss fun
 ctional programming. pdxfunc is a study/user group exploring the world o
 f functional programming based in Portland\, Oregon. The group welcomes 
 programmers interested in all functional languages\, including Haskell\,
  Erlang\, OCaml\, Scala\, and others. The group meets regularly and prov
 ides presentations\, demos and discussions applicable to all skill level
 s\, from newbies and experts. The meetings are usually on the second Mon
 day of the month.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nVENUE: Space for the meeting is kindly 
 provided by NedSpace\, a co-working space for startups\, innovative tech
 nology companies\, non-profits\, artists and social entrepreneurs.&#13\;
