FS2: Streams, Pulls, and... Creeks? with Michael Pilquist

Abstract:
The Functional Streams for Scala library provides infrastructure for major functional Scala libraries, e.g. HTTP4S and Doobie, and has dozens of integration projects. In this talk, we'll look at building a small stream library from scratch in order to understand some of the design decisions of FS2. We'll then look in to an "industrial grade" sample application to show how these ideas scale up to full program design.

Our Speaker:
Michael has been using Scala since 2009, when he was convinced to give it a try by listening to Dick Wall and the Java Posse.

He introduced Scala at Comcast and has written a number of open source functional programming libraries since then, including scodec, simulacrum, and ip4s. He’s also the lead maintainer of FS2, a pretty neat functional streaming library.

Conference mode:
We will publish how the meetup will be screen. Working with Zoom, Google Meet, Youtube solutions, next days we will publish the option that fit better for us 😄
