Slides are now available from the talk I gave with Jason Mauer, The (Re-)emergence of Declarative Programming, at Software Association of Oregon Development SIG on February 21, 2008.

The session explored declarative programming and its history, then examined recent interest in declarative styles of programming, particularly on Microsoft platforms, and what forces are driving the resurgence of declarative programming.
