   Ahem, Shae *Erisson* – Last name is “son of Eris”

2. on 05 Dec 2008 at 14:182 Bryan O'Sullivan

   How embarrassing, given that I have a name that people often misspell. Sorry, Shae!

3. on 05 Dec 2008 at 14:313 Paul Brown

   You can add me to the list Paul Brown (paulrbrown), although I give equal time to impure pursuits.

   Several of us who work at Twitter are functional programmers, actually. You’ve got Steve Jenson on your list, but you got his username wrong

   Steve Jenson (stevej) – Scala, Erlang, Haskell, many others
   Robey Pointer (robey) – Scala
   Alex Payne (al3x) – Scala
   John Kalucki (jkalucki) – Scala

   Scala isn’t the purest functional language, of course, but since you’ve got other Scala folks on the list:

   Dave Pollak (dpp) – Scala
   Jorge Ortiz (jorgeortiz85) – Scala

   Thanks for putting together this list!

   No OCaml-ists?

6. on 05 Dec 2008 at 14:406 Dave Fayram

   I’m a functional programmer (erlang) and I am on Twitter (kirindave).

7. on 05 Dec 2008 at 15:027 Bryan O'Sullivan

   Thanks all, updated.

8. on 05 Dec 2008 at 15:058 Dean Wampler

   You can add me to your Scala gang: deanwampler

9. on 05 Dec 2008 at 15:569 Edward Kmett

   Ack. I’ve been kicked clear out of #haskell and turned into a Scala person. I didn’t realize that my penchant for verbosity was that obvious.

10. on 05 Dec 2008 at 16:1210 Bryan O'Sullivan

    Edward, oops!

11. on 05 Dec 2008 at 16:2411 Andy Adams-Moran

    I’m on twitter as morabbin (Haskeller, Galois co-founder).

12. on 05 Dec 2008 at 16:2612 Bryan O'Sullivan

    Thanks, Andy.

    I’m the fool who writes functionally in mainstream languages. That means no tail recursion (barring evil gotos)! Someday I’ll finally learn haskell, but writing scheme in 48 hours takes longer than I thought.

    Don’t forget Joel Reymont. He runs a new Erlang Journal and wrote OpenPoker in Erlang. His twitter account is wagerlabs.

15. on 05 Dec 2008 at 17:0415 boorad

    Brad Anderson (boorad) – Erlang

16. on 05 Dec 2008 at 17:4816 boorad

    Couple more

    Kevin Smith – kevsmith – Erlang
    Nick Gerakines – ngerakines – Erlang

17. on 05 Dec 2008 at 19:0117 joe

    i post about erlang a bit:

    Joe Williams (williamsjoe)

18. on 05 Dec 2008 at 19:1518 Bryan O'Sullivan

    Thanks, all. Updated again!

19. on 05 Dec 2008 at 22:4419 joe

    i mostly post about erlang, mind adjusting mine? (williamsjoe)

20. on 06 Dec 2008 at 00:3920 matt heitzenroder

    For what it’s worth, I’m an erlang hack, but huge supporter and advocate!

21. on 06 Dec 2008 at 00:4021 matt heitzenroder

    PS: @roder on twitter

22. on 06 Dec 2008 at 04:0422 Eugene Kirpichov

    I’m jkff and if I posted anything on my twitter about FP, then it would be about Haskell,Coq or probably Erlang As of now, I hadn’t yet (and as of now, all 6 of my tweets are in Russian), but the fact that I abandoned twitter was primarily motivated by lack of people to follow and, thus, lack of reason to do anything there. So include me

23. on 06 Dec 2008 at 08:0923 Arnar Birgisson

    I’m maybe not much of a Haskeller, but I’m a try-hard.

24. on 06 Dec 2008 at 11:5224 Jake McArthur

    You misspelled my handle (geezusfreeek). Common mistake. Thanks for the list. I will be sure to follow basically everybody on it.

25. on 06 Dec 2008 at 12:4725 Jake McArthur

    Oh, and you also misspelled my last name. Also a common mistake.

26. on 06 Dec 2008 at 13:0926 Justin

    Rusty Klophaus (rklophaus) – Erlang

27. on 06 Dec 2008 at 13:2927 Nick Gerakines

    Here are a few Erlang/FP folks that I follow.

    mickael / Mickaël Rémond
    dreid / David Reid
    B3d0u1n / Mark Zweifel
    JonGretar / Jon Gretar
    erlangwatch
    lenn0x / Chris Goffinet
    jacobvorreuter / Jacob Vorreuter
    yarivs / Yariv Sadan

    Thanks, all! I have embiggened the list again.

29. on 06 Dec 2008 at 14:3529 Berlin Brown

    try me too. I talk about it.

30. on 06 Dec 2008 at 15:4530 Chris Daniel

    “Joseph Olsten” should be “Joseph Holsten”

31. on 06 Dec 2008 at 17:5231 Paul Snively

    Hey Bryan, could you please add me? My username is psnively, and I mostly yak about OCaml and Coq, but with some Scala from time to time.

32. on 07 Dec 2008 at 04:0632 Chris Goffinet

    Yeah, as Nick mentioned, add me as well. I am doing lot’s of Erlang over at Yahoo!

33. on 08 Dec 2008 at 01:0933 Justin Bozonier

    I’ve been bitten by the F# bug as of late and have helped start a book club for it as well (along with a mate of mine who came up with the idea, Chris Bilson). We’ve even had an author of one of the few F# books join our book club.

    Our twitter usernames are

    Justin Bozonier: darkxanthos

    and

    Chris Bilson: cbilson

    Our book club is on google groups @

    jaked1, OCaml!

35. on 10 Dec 2008 at 04:2535 Nicolas Pouillard

    I’m also a functional programmer on Twitter (npouillard), I’m programming in Haskell and OCaml.

36. on 18 Dec 2008 at 23:5636 Real World Haskell » Blog Archive » RWH on Twitter

    [...] a Twitter account where updates about the book and other not-quite-blog worthy news will appear. The authors and the broader Haskell and FP community, are also largely on Twitter, if you want to keep up to date on events in Haskell land. We’ve [...]

37. on 12 Jan 2009 at 15:1037 Tracy Harms

    A lot of my Twitter attention is on functional programming. I am Tracy Harms, ‘kaleidic’. My focus is on Iverson’s J programming language (http://www.jsoftware.com/) but I am interested in functional/function-level topics in a language independent way. I’m also putting a toe in the water of several other languages.

    I (black_meph) almost never Tweet about Haskell, but now and then, I do.
