= Agenda (CET time) =
19:00 - 20:30: Talk: Monocle 3: a peek into the future
20:30 - 21:00: Q&A & get-to-gether

= Abstract of the talk =
Optics is a popular topic among library authors; they exist in at least four flavours in Scala: Monocle, Quicklens, Shapeless and Tofu. However, we rarely see optics in real world code bases.
Why is that? Why are optics not popular in Scala?

In this talk, I plan to not only answer this question, but also offer some solutions to the current problems with Monocle API.

This presentation is a longer, more in-depth version of the one I gave last year at Scale by the Bay.

= Bio of Julien =
I am a backend engineer with experience in companies of all sizes, ranging from start-ups to tech giants like Amazon. For the last 5 years, I have been running functional programming training workshops with great success. I focus my training on simple functional programming techniques that deliver value to companies.

I am also the author of Monocle, an optics library that helps functional Scala developers easily traverse, transform, and access deeply nested data structures.
