[Caml-list] ICFP Programming Contest 2001?

[eijiro_sumii]

(Excuse me for asking a non-Caml question, but it is quite relevant to
Caml people for an obvious reason...)

Will there be ICFP Programming Contest 2001?

Yes!  It's just been announced, by none other than Damien Doligez :-)

Please circulate widely the announce below on relevant mailing lists,
Web news sites, etc.  If some of you have good Slashdot status, please
submit it there too; they might actually post it if there are enough
submissions.

And, of course, get your teams ready for another demonstration of
Caml's superiority :-)

Have fun,

We are pleased to announce:

                         The Fourth Annual

                     ICFP PROGRAMMING CONTEST

                         July 26-29, 2001

             http://cristal.inria.fr/ICFP2001/prog-contest/

Convinced your favorite programming language provides unbeatable
productivity?  Convinced you and your friends are world-class programmers?

If so, we're providing you the opportunity to prove it! We are pleased
to announce the Fourth Annual ICFP Programming Contest to be held in
conjunction with the 2001 International Conference on Functional
Programming (ICFP 2001). All programmers are invited to enter the
contest, either individually or in teams; we especially encourage
students to enter.  You may use any programming language (or
combination of languages) to show your skill.

On Thursday, July 26, 2001 at 15:00 UTC, we will publish a challenge
task on the Web site and by e-mail to registered participants.  Teams
will have until Sunday, 29 July 2001, 15:00 UTC (72 hours) to
implement a program to perform this task and submit it to the contest
judges.  We've designed the contest for direct, head-to-head
comparison of language technology and programming skill.  We have a
range of prizes for the winners: cash awards, special student prizes,
and, of course, unlimited bragging rights.

For more information about the contest, prizes, and registration,
point your browser to:

OCaml on the front page, instead of buried in comments. :)

Thanks for trying.  We should try again a few days before the contest.
Slashdot did announce the previous three editions...

Celebrity at last!  My favorite comment was:

        > Hrm. Never even heard of Ocaml. 
        It's the Irish version of Perl. (ouch.)
