Dan Rosén on "Algebraic Effects" at TimeEdit

We're back from summer for more on functional programming! :D

Dan Rosén will be giving a talk on Algebraic effects at this meetup based on the paper "Type Directed Compilation of Row-Typed Algebraic Effects" by Daan Leijen.

For who ever is wondering, algebraic effects are an alternative to monads for modeling side-effects (e.g. input/output, state, or exceptions) in an otherwise
pure functional language. The paper can be read online here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/algeff.pdf

The wonderful folks at TimeEdit have agreed to host this event. They will be providing some food and drinks too! ;)

Below, you can find the abstract for the talk and the speaker's bio.
