Would you please fix the spelling of my last name to end in a double-"t" (in three places)? Name misspellings can be contagious on the web. Also, in the section about Andy's Chalkboard system, a stronger connection to my work was Pan (http://conal.net/Pan), which as you said represented images as their sampling functions. And thanks to very aggressive optimization and C code generation, it really was pretty fast. Vertigo (http://conal.net/Vertigo) extended Pan to 3D and generated GPU code rather than CPU code, which made it even much faster. Cheers. Thanks very much for the IFL overview!

But still a lot of hot news. Ocaml getting better concurrency sounds great. I was able to grasp the benefits of Boomerang, Augeas, and bidirectional languages in general. I'll also have to look into stream fusion in ghc. firstly to find out if stream means what i think it does and then see how fusion applies to it. Wow, most of that report went way over my head.
