    I too was at Josh's final exam.

    And I like Jonathan's generalization of Todd's suggestion i.e. ways of dealing with state. I'd like to understand monads once and for all. And I would certainly like to learn more about logics for dealing with state. Not exactly sure how nested transactions relate, but maybe all the more reason to grok that too.

    Sorry I missed the group meeting on Monday--I went to Josh Redstone's
    final exam and forgot to excuse myself.

    Todd said you discussed what to do in 590K/590L in the next couple of
    quarters. I liked his suggestion of studying separation logic and other
    logics for reasoning about state. One could extend this topic to include
    unconventional language models for dealing with state--examples include
    monads in Haskell, and the nested-transaction model of abstract state
    machines.
