I attended this talk and it was very well done. Most intro to $LANGUAGE talks try to share a few very simple examples of the language. Something most people could read about and absorb on their own in 10-15 minutes. Bob's slides and presentation went for breadth, acknowledging that this was not a tutorial but a way to present listeners with a great sense of what the language does, how it contrasts with Erlang, and [what I found the most useful] a good explanation of how to approach some of the more difficult to explain concepts. Now when I sit down to actually learn Haskell, I have a useful mental model on a bunch of the not so obvious concepts. I think video of the talk that goes with these slides will eventually be uploaded at: http://www.youtube.com/user/ErlangSolutions http://www.youtube.com/user/ErlangSolutions Some of the presentations from just a couple days ago are already up, so I hope to see the rest soon.
