Purely Functional Programming for the JVM with Frege

About the Presentation: Functional programming needs functions - side effect free transformations - to enable lazy evaluation, memoization, function composition, and safe concurrent execution. Frege provides this purity for the JVM. It is a Haskell that runs on Java and interoperates with Java in a safe way: by rigidly requiring the demarcation of all effects that Java code may have. In this session, you will experience many advantages of a purely functional language and how you can fully exploit them in your Java application.
