There's been a bit of an elephant in the room for Aussie FP community organisers the last couple of years. I thought it would be fun to share and compare notes. The root of the "problem" is that functional programming won! /1

I don't agree that this is the root of the "problem."

I'm listening!

In brief, per Twitter, this divide has widened: > liftA2 (,) ["is","is not"] ["a FPer", "doing FP"] As to cause, my speculation is a change in what is, and is not, acceptable goals and discourse. An apathy toward establishing the common goals among all software developers.

We said "look at the green grass over here!" and some people came over, but most planted grass in their own paddocks instead, and now there are green shoots everywhere. Haven't we made progress toward what we consider should be common goals? Shouldn't our approach differ now?
