The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming, taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other contributions. See the call for papers for more details.
This year, the event is taking place in-person at UMass Boston. It will be a 4-day event, with TFPIE taking place Thurs Jan 12, followed by TFP on Fri Jan 13 - Sun Jan 15.
TFP offers a friendly and constructive reviewing process designed to help less experienced authors succeed, with an opportunity for two rounds of review, both before and after the symposium itself. Authors thus have an opportunity to address reviewers’ concerns before the final decision on publication in the Proceedings is taken, in the light of previous reviews and discussions at the symposium.
TFP offers two “best paper” awards, the John McCarthy award for best paper, and the David Turner award for best student paper.

Keynote
Reach: A Language for DApp Development
Jay McCarthy
Reach is a functionally-inspired programming language and platform for developing decentralized applications (DApps) that aspires to be the smartest, fastest, and safest way to build. In this talk, we explain DApp development and what Reach provides for it. We discuss a few interesting theoretical parts, as well as the practical aspects of deploying a new language in an active industry, acquiring thousands of users, and managing millions of dollars of assets. Reach is implemented with Haskell, Z3, TypeScript, and glorious shell scripts.
Jay McCarthy is the technical side of the pair that founded Reach. Previously, he has been a professor of Computer Science at UMass Lowell and Brigham Young University. He is also part of the Racket Project Leadership Committee.
