Juliette will be presenting: Functional Optics in TypeScript
Details
Juliette Lmarche, a math graduate and poet turned cook turned front-end developer, with a focus on pragmatic functional programming and expressive code, will be presenting functional optics in Type Script. Here is a summary of the talk:
Optics are bidirectional transforms. The core concepts have been developed in Haskell, as a way to find a pure equivalent to workflows involving in-place mutations of deeply nested objects. But because they compose and generalize better, optics have since been ported to languages where mutability is readily available. I will explore this lesser known gem of functional programming, with focus on my personal experience using and implementing them in TypeScript.
====================================================
The gates will be open at 6PM, the talk will start at 7PM sharp.
There will be free pizza and beverages, yaay!
The event will take place at Optable's office:
Suite#700 1435 Rue St-Alexandre
