They were great together!
Great start to the conference!
Loved the discussion on being inclusive and keeping toxicity out of the community!
Very enthusiastic speaker. Enjoyable to listen to.
It would jav helped to have a real example of doing something in a non-functional way versus the functional equivalent. I'm still left wondering why? Why is doing everything functionally better than just running trace/alert statements to check values for the variables involved in a certain section of code.
Here are the slides https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1AeVPOGeK87PTQnVoU6DipLfe15aulMqafqW6nTI0Zno/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=5000
Great talk on principles of functional programming and how it can apply to ask code in all languages!
I work with the fellow and still learned stuff.
