    Summer BOB 2019

    Are you interested in technologies beyond the mainstream, that are a
    pleasure to use, and effective at getting the job done?

    BOB is the forum for developers, architects and builders to explore
    and discover the best tools available today for building software. Our
    goal is for all participants to leave the conference with new ideas to
    improve development back at the ranch.

    Summer BOB is a one-time-only event, in the spirit of the spectacular
    Winter BOB. The International Conference on Functional Programming is
    coming to town, and Summer BOB will be right in the middle of it, on
    the last day of ICFP proper, prior to all the workshops. BOB
    participants will be able to attend ICFP talks on Aug 21 and vice
    versa.

    We are committed to diversity: We aim at exploring a wide range of
    tools in a welcoming and friendly crowd of diverse people. To that
    end, a number of support options for participants from groups
    under-represented in tech are available.

    Summer BOB will feature two tracks: one from practitioners, and one
    from researchers, designed to cross-pollinate and inspire.

    Topics include distributed programming, testing, linear algebra,
    functional design patterns, type systems, formal methods, and
    interactive development:
