ah, Dylan! I remember from far 2005 a team called "Dylan Hackers" who earned both the judges' prize and the second prize at the ICFP Contest (cop & robbers), http://icfpc.plt-scheme.org/ http://icfpc.plt-scheme.org/.
Here the blog post describing their entry: http://www.hoult.org/bruce/icfp2005/ http://www.hoult.org/bruce/icfp2005/
- yetfeo 13y agoDylan did well in multiple ICFP contests IIRC.
- thomasz 13y agoThe team is infinitely more important than the language, and the Dylan Hackers team was top notch.
- gohrt 13y agoIndeed, ICFP 2001 was the only time I ever heard of someone using Dylan, and 2005 was the next and last time. In 2001, the Dlyan Hackers placed #2, but the #1 team had a team member named Dylan (Thurston) http://developers.slashdot.org/story/01/09/07/0131231/icfp-2001-contest-results http://developers.slashdot.org/story/01/09/07/0131231/icfp-2... and IIRC, in that 2005 cops-and-robbers game, the game rules invited complex strategies, but the game wasn't balanced, so degenerate strategies dominated, and the competitiveness was over details of implementation.
