Functional languages have been under academic development
for over 25 years, and remain fertile ground for programming
language research. Recently, however, developers in industrial,
governmental, and open source projects have begun to use
functional programming successfully in practical applications.
In these settings, functional programming has often provided
dramatic leverage, including whole new ways of thinking about
the original problem.
The goal of the CUFP workshop is to act as a voice for these
users of functional programming. The workshop supports the
increasing viability of functional programming in the
commercial, governmental, and open-source space by providing a
forum for professionals to share their experiences and ideas,
whether those ideas are related to business, management, or
engineering. The workshop is also designed to enable the
formation and reinforcement of relationships that further
the commercial use of functional programming. Providing user
feedback to language designers and implementors is not a
primary goal of the workshop, though it will be welcome if it
occurs.

There will be no published proceedings, as the meeting is
intended to be more a discussion forum than a technical
interchange.
See http://cufp.galois.com for more information, including
presentation abstracts and the most recent schedule
information.
This will be the sixth CUFP; see CUFP 2004 CUFP 2005, CUFP
2006, CUFP 2007 and CUFP 2008 for information about the
earlier meetings, including reports from attendees and video
of the most recent talks.
