Description:
Traditional imperative programming languages have failed to provide concurrent and parallel programming paradigms which take advantage of parallel hardware without also placing heavy burdens on programming correctness and effort. In contrast, functional programming communities have constructed concurrent and parallel programming paradigms which are easy to use and to make correct.
This highly technical talk will explain the problems encountered by imperative programming languages (C/C++, Java), and will explain how functional programming languages and frameworks (Erlang, Node, Haskell) have created elegant solutions. The task of writing a high performance IRC server will serve as an example.
No experience with functional programming is required to attend.

This is where you new Haskell fans can start your learning!
Great presentation. Robin was very knowledgeable in the topic and encouraged an open and frank discussion about the presented topics. The atmosphere was encouraging and very productive.

This was a great technical talk. Content was well delivered and speaker knows the material and he was passionate about the subject. Audience was really engage and as a result we spent a great deal of time on the code sample. It was a fun talk and kept me engage.
