[kwlug disc.] ICFP Programming Contest

[Brad Smith]

Glad to hear you're interested Kyle! Welcome aboard! There have also
been a few other people who have expressed interest, but no other firm
commitments yet. I'd say that a team of about three or maybe four
people would be ideal. Remember, you don't need to know anything about
functional programming or anything to participate. The contest is open
to users of any programming language. Last year's winning team (made
up of Google employees) used a combination of Haskell, Python, Bash
scripts and C++.
