Venkat Subramaniam - Mixed Paradigms: The Method to Madness

Dr. Venkat Subramaniam, en av verdens mest anerkjente speakere i IT-bransjen, kommer endelig tilbake til Norge og javaBin er heldige som får besøk av han i storsalen på Rebel. Venkat er kjent for sin faglige ekspertise og formidlingsevne, og gjør dette et engasjement og humor som er sjeldent. Venkat tar et dypdykk i kodespråk og paradigmer som er imperative, deklarative (herunder funksjonelle), og hybride (altså kombinerte imperative og deklarative. Dette er definitivt en mulighet du ikke vil gå glipp av!

PS: The meetup will be hosted in English!

ABSTRACT:
Language Paradigms are intriguing, some languages are pure and enforce a particular paradigm, and yet some languages are hybrid. A single paradigm language is consistent, easier to use, and often favored by the proponents of the promoted paradigm. Hybrid languages often appear confusing, seem harder to use, and yet there are so many of them. From the programming point of view should we stick to one paradigm or should we dabble into the mixed paradigm arena? It turns out, that is not an easy question.
