ICFP is an academic conference that is (often) held outside the US. The colocated CUFP conf with ICFP is closer to what I'm talking about but still somewhat small. I would like to engage the relatively new and active contingent of functional programmers in the Clojure, Scala, Erlang, and F# communities in particular.
I like to be hopeful and think that FP has gained enough exposure and use for its advocates to support two whole conferences.
Yes, exactly. :) FP Days is doing good stuff too. And there are of course very robust single-community conferences for Clojure, Scala, Erlang, etc. But surely we have something to learn across langs.
