About the conference
SPLASH's mission is to engage software innovators from all walks of life -- developers, academics and undeclared -- in conversations about bettering software. Bettering software involves new ideas about programming languages, tools, conceptual models, and methodologies that can cope with, evolve, and leverage, the complex software-intensive socio-technical system of systems that has emerged in front of our eyes during the past decades. Bettering software requires a deep understanding of the nature of these systems, an understanding that rides on the trends of the moment, but that goes well beyond. These are the topics of SPLASH.

One of my recent revelations about F# was how well Microsoft Solver Foundation and F# go together.
Solver Foundation is Microsoft’s entry into mathematical modeling and optimization (linear programming, constraint programming, etc.).
The revelation was that with F# the model intent remained clear in code and the code was very readable.
I had previously used C# with Solver but the model intent was lost in the jumble of api calls.
Solver Foundation comes with an F# wrapper which I think key to enabling such transparent model code.
