Good talk. The rest of my comment can be found here: https://joind.in/talk/view/10655#comment-42855

Very entertaining and well done keynote. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

This talk was incredible. I'm really excited to apply what I've learned in my daily development practice.

Though very enthusiastic as a presenter, not sure he quite captured the felt need of why one should do functional programming. Can't fault him too much because the philosophical core of functional programming goes over most people's heads. Clojure community (and others LISP like languages) has the advantage of starting from core as a functional language.

Edit: Ok, his question answer w.r.t. Erlang was spot on. Learning a more pure functional language (even studying one) does make your PHP code better. Excellent suggestion. Adding a thumb.

so grateful for this talk. It was excellent. Tim is excellent!

Good introduction to Scuplin and how to approach if it is the right fit for the site you are developing. The talk might benefit from less "Here is a site and its github repo". Felt like that could have been streamlined down to a quick "Here are some example use cases" with the repos listed as resources at the end of the slides to browse after the session.

What would really help sell me on it would be to take one of the examples, like the author section, and show how easy(?) it is to create a custom content type and use it across a site. Otherwise, came out of the talk thinking about what I can use to play with it.
