The results of the fifth ICFP contest are now available. There were two divisions: lightning and normal. Python was the most popular language in the lightning division, with 3 of the 10 entries. The other languages used were: Perl, C, C++, Delphi, Mercury, OCaml and Haskell.
In the normal division, there were 159 entries, with the language breakdown as follows:
1 Ada 20 C 21 C++ 1 C++, Lisp 4 Common Lisp 1 Delphi 1 Dylan 2 Erlang 1 Forth 1 Gwydion Dylan 10 Haskell 1 Icon 28 Java 2 Mercury 19 OCaml 1 Pearl 11 Perl 1 Prolog 16 Python 3 Ruby 1 SML 8 Scheme 1 Smalltalk 4 n/aFunny how more than half of the entries for the contest surrounding the International Conference for Functional Programming don't fit into the category of "functional" programming languages: Java, C, C++, Delphi, Python, and Perl. :-)
