"A Series of Unfortunate Effects"

Eben noch auf der Lambda World in Cádiz und jetzt beim REWE digital Meetup in Ilmenau! Wir freuen uns zum Abschluss der Meetup-Saison 2019 unseren Kollegen Robert M. Avram mit einem märchenhaftem Vortrag über Seiteneffekte in der funktionalen Programmierung präsentieren zu können. Für weihnachtliches Flair sorgen wir mit Glühwein und Stolle.

Der Vortrag ist auf Englisch.

The very essence of functional programming relies on a fairly simple premise: write side-effectless programs, so that you can reason about them equationally. Side-effects however are predominant in every program that . . . well, does something useful. In light of this, the modelling of effects in functional programs has become a fairly active domain of study. From stacked effects, to horizontal ones; from transformers to free monads and so on. Every effect model, though joyfully they may seem, have some rather unfortunate consequences. In this talk, I'd like to share with you some of these effect models and exemplify both their joyful and unfortunate nature.

Agenda:

18:00 Open Doors
18:15 Welcome
18:20 Vortrag mit Q&A
19:30 Free Beers, Fingerfood & Networking
21:00 Ende des Meetups

About the speaker:

Robert is a software engineer currently working at REWE Digital in Cologne and spends a lot of his time writing functional microservices in Clojure and Scala. He concurrently seeks refuge from the imperative in the world of purely functional programming, and from time to time likes to pester unwilling individuals with it.
