11th Annual ICFP Contest Begins

Posted by timothy on from the prime-year-for-it dept.

Matthew Fluet writes "The 11th Annual ICFP Programming Contest begins July 11 (12:00 Noon PDT) and runs through July 14 (12:00 Noon PDT). As in the previous ten editions, this is your chance to show that your favorite programming language (or your team) is better than all others! In addition to prize money, the winner's programming language is declared the 'programming language of choice for discriminating hackers.' Contestants may use any programming language (or combination of languages) to show their skill. How will your favorite language fare?"
