Roundup 2007 Session - Whither Java?

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com

Recorded at the Java Posse Roundup 2007, this session examines what's next for Java, but not necessarily in the "Beyond Java" sense of everything going Ruby. In fact, the discussion focuses more on the switch to a more functional view of programming, but within the confines of a practical application language (i.e. not one that requires you to do everything in a functional way). This session was convened by Joel Neely.

• The Haskell functional programming language
• http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell
• Fibonacci in Haskell
• http://www.cubbi.org/serious/fibonacci/haskell.html
• Currying functions
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying
• Scala (with functional programming features)
• http://www.scala-lang.org/
• Functional Programming from Wikipedia
