What we’re about
Func Prog Sweden is the community for anyone interested in functional programming. At the MeetUps we will explore different functional languages like Erlang, Elixir, Haskell, Scala, Clojure, OCaml, F# and more. We have also explored the functional aspects of C++, Java and more. Join the community to learn more, meet other people interested in functional programming and have fun.
All events are live streamed at the Func Prog Sweden YouTube channel. And here you can also find all the past events.

Rust vs. F#
F# is a multi-purpose functional-first language using the .NET ecosystem and runtime.Rust is a systems-level functional-style language focused on memory safety.
This talk will compare these two languages, their similarites, differences, strengths and weaknesses. We will also discuss when you would choose one over the other.

It's 2022 and our software feels like 1999. Our developer pace is fine but the habitat is crumbling, the technology is outdated. So in January 2023, we took the plunge and started building the new town over in Elixir Land.In this talk, we share our approach to the technology shift and how we integrate this long term goal into our business as usual where we focus on modern software engineering with small incremental steps. We'll take a look at the challenges we have faced and are still facing, some of which are: communicating between old and new system, shifting to functional programming, making existing data usable in Ecto, building bridges and shifting traffic and last but not least doing this all without the user noticing. We'll also take a look at a real life feature that went from ugly duckling to shiny new with the help of the strangler fig pattern.
