We are delighted to announce that the first meeting of the London Haskell User Group will take place on 23rd May 2007, at City University in central London. We would like to extend an invitation to anybody who is either already using Haskell or merely interested in learning more about it to come along.

Simon Peyton Jones will be joining us to give a talk. Simon is one of the original architects of Haskell, and continues to make significant contributions to it, including his work as the lead designer of GHC, the fastest and most advanced compiler for Haskell. He has also done very important work on new abstractions for concurrency such as Software Transaction Memory and Nested Data Parallelism.

The meeting will take place from 6:30 PM in the College Building at City University in London. See the venue page for detailed location information and directions.

If you would like to attend, please register your interest either by leaving a comment on this page, or by emailing info@londonhug.net.

Many thanks to City University and Simon Peyton Jones for their support!
