For the last six years or so, I’ve been the maintainer of the Meetup group “Halmstad Functional Programming”. I started the group when I moved to Halmstad because going to Meetup groups back in Gothenburg was a big thing at the time, and it had led to a lot of fun experiences and long-lasting friendships for me.

Unfortunately, Meetup of today (at least here in Halmstad) is not worth the money. Very few people find the group, and the price for membership has been going up a lot lately. So it’s with a sad heart that I have made the decision to terminate my Meetup.com subscription, which will leave the current group in limbo.

BUT! Me and my co-organizer Ola Sikström will try to keep the group going, indie style 🤘. We’ve launched a small website with all the info. Check it out here:

halmstad-functional-programming.github.io

We will use a Discord server to organize upcoming meetings (at least for now, we’re aware of the problems regarding that platform too…)

So if you’re somewhat close to Halmstad and want to hang out (or maybe even give a talk?), please come join us! Or just shoot us an email, that works too.
