John Wallis devised this beautiful formula for π in 1655. It is the infinite product of even numbers squared divided by their two adjacent odd numbers.

@williewheeler that's an unfortunately sensible explanation. I was hoping for some kind of bat-obsessed subculture.

@arosien great talk at https://t.co/JReJqOqVP8. Realized there's so much more functional goodness in Scala I've yet to use. Will check out the functional programming books you recommended.

Looking forward to "Why do Functional Programmers always talk about Algebra(s)?" with speaker Adam Rosien, hosted by @Oli_kitty here at @ExpediaEng in Bellevue. https://t.co/9TNnfVPVEi

@martinkl Martin, loved the article on turning the DB inside out. I do streaming data (spark, storm) and I'm thinking about ways to declaratively define materialized views of streams that get merged into hot data stores for fast access. Any OS projects you know of that do this?
