ICFP 2002 Contest Winners Announced

Posted by timothy on from the coffee-bean-laurels-would-be-appropriate dept.

Georgwe Russell writes "The Winners have been announced at the official web site. Looks like OCaml and functional programming have won again, with the 3 member TAPLAS team. There is somewhat of an upset, though. Second place goes to 3-member team Radical TOO, whose entry was written in C! In the lightning round, the virtues of Python as a quick prototyping language were shown in the lightning division's winning entry by the OaSys one-man team. Does the skill of the programmer prevail over the limitations of the language and paradigm used, or is C nearly as good a language as OCaml?"

    Does anyone know if the Daniel Adkins from Radical Too is the Daniel Adkins from Baton Rouge that was at IOI '95? The name matches and the picture on the site looks a lot like him.

  6. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 55 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio. Horror/Sci-Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any further details. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by the Slashdot community - even if you didn't read any of books, there's no denying the impact he made on popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    You're hilarious--I keep my threshold at -1 because of this. It's almost like watching bloopers on TV. Thank you, and keep up the good work (I mean it). I don't care about anything remotely on topic anymore ;) Nothing's better than seing serious posts get replied to with this....
