I'd love to see a conference that catered to commercial functional language developers. One area I'd like to see more discussion would be the problems/solutions for doing stand-alone/embedded development (iOS/android and industrial embedded work).

Can't wait Alex! Already looking forward to StrangeLoop this year

You mean like http://www.icfpconference.org/

ICFP is an academic conference that is (often) held outside the US. The colocated CUFP conf with ICFP is closer to what I'm talking about but still somewhat small. I would like to engage the relatively new and active contingent of functional programmers in the Clojure, Scala, Erlang, and F# communities in particular.

I like to be hopeful and think that FP has gained enough exposure and use for its advocates to support two whole conferences.

Yes, exactly. :) FP Days is doing good stuff too. And there are of course very robust single-community conferences for Clojure, Scala, Erlang, etc. But surely we have something to learn across langs.

It's in Europe but FP Days is now in its second year aimed explicitly at commercial FP developers and with a multi-language approach.

I think the different language communities can learn from each other hence the multi-language focus.

I'd enjoy an FP exclusive for sure. It would be a great excuse for a place to hash out both philosophical as well as practical conjectures
