Subject: The F# team is hiring!
Hi all,
The F# team continue to have a number of positions open for compiler and language tools experts. Positions are by default in Redmond.
If you're interested in helping to bring a typed functional programming language into Visual Studio and think you have skills and commitment relevant to the achieving this, then please contact me or another member of the F# team to see if there might be a fit. If there's no immediate fit, then there may be one later, so don't be shy. We're looking for compiler experts, including optimization, type checking, performance and correctness language tools experts, e.g. experienced with language services and Visual Studio language tools QA/test experts
Kind regards
Don
Pittsburgh: the friendliest town ever?
I travel a great deal. Some cities will remain legendary in my mind for their hospitality during my frequent visits. Cities deserving extra special mention include NYC, Baltimore, Paris, Seattle, SF. Other cities are HORRIBLE to visit. San Diego comes to mind (sorry, nice weather, but "pass!"). Edinburgh is pretty but (based on 3 or 4 trips that I've made thus far) emotionally cold.
I've been happily surprised at the level of hospitality that I've encountered here in Pittsburgh. Many CMU people have invited me out to dinner, or to their homes. Old friends who now live in Pittsburgh have taken me out to shows, bars, etc. Tonight I had many social invitations: a concert, a dinner, etc. I'd already made plans to hang out with Lli (old Portland friend since 1996?). Tonight was the "gallery crawl" in downtown Pittsburgh, Lli and I ended up spending our entire gallery crawl time at this gallery. We also drove around a bit and talked, and went to dinner.

All settled in at CMU
For the past week I’ve been settling in at CMU. I’m teaching a graduate course on termination (and writing some companion lecture notes). I've been meeting with the many smart professors/students/researchers. I'm also working on several papers.
For the first few days I stayed in John Reynolds’ amazing house. Then I found my own place. The neighbourhoods here are great, and the houses are HUGE by my UK/Seattle standards.
I have a great office which rivals the office I have at MSR-Cambridge, with a great view!
