Off with a bang, Haskell, OCaml and Scala quick talks

Details

Three speakers lined up. You can arrive early, there will be people there from about 6pm, and the room is available but the talks won't start until 7.

These will be short talks, 20-25 mins, with 5 mins questions. We will have Haskell, Scala and OCaml talks in the same evening.

Presenters will try to show off what makes each of these languages great to use. Providing a quick intro to each language.
Why should someone bother learning them?
What business benefits are there from employees using these languages?
What sort of killer features makes them stand out?

As this is the first meetup, we'll try not to go all out and be a little bit more high level to set a tone and welcome everyone out.

After the talks, we'll retire to a nearby pub.
