SUMMARY:Haskell: origins\, evolution\, and future by Simon Peyton Jones -

DESCRIPTION:Haskell is an unusual survivor in the Darwinian landscape of p
 rogramming languages: it is long-lived (36 years old)\, yet not mainstream
 \; it is both a research platform and a production tool\; it pushes the bo
 undaries of what you can do with static types\; and (anecdotally) it inspi
 res joy as well as offering utility. In this talk I'll describe how Haskel
 l came to be\, and what (in retrospect) I think are its most important con
 tributions. I'll talk about how it has evolved\, especially in response to
  the demands of companies using Haskell in production.

SUMMARY:A Taste of Verse - Simon Peyton Jones

DESCRIPTION:For the last four years I have been working for Tim Sweeney at
  Epic Games on a new programming language called Verse. Like Haskell\, it 
 is a declarative language: a variable denotes an immutable value\, not a m
 utable cell.  But Verse is unusual and mind-expanding in many ways.  It un
 ifies things that are completely distinct in Haskell\; expressions\, patte
 rns\, and types are all the same thing.  (For example\, the 'array' type c
 onstructor and the 'map' function for arrays are the same thing\, not just
  related things.)  It includes features from functional logic programming.
  Choice and arrays have an elegant duality. Function overloading works in 
 a new way. And so on.\n\nIn this talk I'll give you a flavour of what Vers
 e is like and why I am finding it so fascinating.
