Abstract:

Haskell has come a long way from the research-only language it was when it began 25 years ago. Let's discuss how the powerful theory that originally inspired Haskell has grown into a practical programming language that some of world's largest corporations rely on for mission-critical enterprise-scale applications.



Speakers:

Yitzchak Gale, Suite Solutions

Michael Snoyman, FP Complete
