The first PWL Nashville Meetup

Our first meeting will cover two papers in two formats, a presentation of "Making Data Structures Persistent (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0022000089900342)" and a group discussion of "Why Functional Programming Matters. (https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love/blob/master/functional_programming/why-functional-programming-matters.pdf)"

This is not a passive participation meetup; this group is for readers. Please download and read the papers before attending, especially papers selected for a discussion format.
