Per the content type it was a bit difficult to follow if you don't already know functional programming (Haskell in particular).

Some philosophical opinions were given with no time for further discussion. Great job at invoking thought and questions but would have like less content with more time for discussion and/or expansion of concepts.

The first half was great, about what sets functional programming apart, good explanations and engaging. It felt like when it switched over to mapping (ha!) functional concepts to their counterparts in non-functional languages, the speaker lost his mojo. The [a] -> [b] whatever notation was not explained, and the examples were light.
