Semi-regular tutorials/discussions about OCaml language features and libraries. A meetup should ideally center around a topic which (1) contains some interesting core idea, (2) helps us get stuff done, (3) is reasonably accessible to people without a ton of OCaml experience (but who might be familiar with other MLs, Haskell, Scheme, etc...)

The J programming language is unlike any other.  It offers powerful tools for algorithm expression and experimentation by incorporating high-level data manipulation concepts as a logical, consistent notation. This allows you to quickly explore complex problems and express solutions succinctly. J is a functional language but with imperative forms for flexibility. J's concise notation and interactivity speed up algorithm development by orders of magnitude compared to more conventional languages. T …
