Functional Programming with Effects

The foundation of functional programming is values, pure functions, and function composition; but this lean model of computation seems to abandon real-world concerns such as partiality, exceptions, logging, mutable state, and so on. This talk introduces FP from first principles and demonstrates how we recover the expressiveness of imperative programming without sacrificing the benefits of equational reasoning, via effects.

A Functional Startup with Clojure
Amperity began its life just a little over two years ago, with the ambition to grow to a large and successful company powered by functional programming at the core. Derek will explain the rationale for using Clojure specifically, and where functional programming can (and can't) help as a startup company grows rapidly.
