jsarnat writes "A recent Ask Slashdot revealed revealed that there are indeed many programming language bigots (myself included) who read Slashdot. What better way to prove that your favorite language is the best one there is than to win the Third Annual ICFP Programming Contest? The contest doesn't start until August 26th, but they encourage you to register soon. Prizes include: `cash awards, famous texts on functional languages donated and autographed by the authors, and, of course, unlimited bragging rights.'"

Last Place prize? by TheNecromancer · 2000-08-24 05:06 · Score: 5

Isn't their going to be a last place prize? The prize could be a speaker at the conference stating at least once that these programmers are "a bunch of complete losers, with no social life to speak of".
