LambdaCast

We're a podcast about functional programming for working developers. We describe concepts using clear everyday language without watering anything down.

@mawillcockson @lambda_conf We're not in the business of making personal recommendations. If $795 is the "reasonable" range for a conference for you personally, @lambda_conf is one of our favorite conferences and has a ton of great content for beginner to experts.

In our latest episode, Logan walks us through his experience starting a project using all the FP techniques and tools he can get his hands on in the JavaScript ecosystem. https://t.co/SEJpX5WXmf

Marching ever closer to the "M" word we're climbing up the tower another rung with Applicative Functors: https://t.co/Wcy6KMdXDV

[LambdaCast @lambdacast]

@Final_guy Thanks, but we didn't originate the idea, just passing it along.

[LambdaCast @lambdacast]

Our tour through the countryside of FP continues with an episode on Functors https://t.co/ThWKGyjT4S

[LambdaCast @lambdacast]

@cowboyd Yep that's already on the roadmap but out a ways. Probably bundled as part of a "dealing with large immutable data structures" episode.

[LambdaCast @lambdacast]

@spacepopstar Ok, we address this in episode 16.

[LambdaCast @lambdacast]

@spacepopstar Could you clarify your use of "vacuous"? We would be inclined to use "precise" for lambda and monad since they have a single defined meaning

[LambdaCast @lambdacast]

@spacepopstar I suppose that's kind of community related, but really that cuts to the core of FP vs OO. I think there's a whole episode in that discussion

https://t.co/4gHh1SGUsf seems to be down, if you're trying to join us there you can use https://t.co/mmn0eSFwUH in the meantime.

[LambdaCast @lambdacast]

After a longer-than-expected hiatus we're back with episode 15 discussing the FP community. https://t.co/AvhdMXAUkr

[LambdaCast @lambdacast]

@maxinorat We're going to cover Functors in episode 16. Monads will come after that, they're definitely on the roadmap.

[LambdaCast @lambdacast]

Our listeners asked for our opinion on static and dynamic functional languages, enjoy: https://t.co/yGcJgyiuZ4

One of our hosts wrote a blog post covering Monoids, if you wanted a different approach to episode 12 here you go: https://t.co/lIik2lql29

In episode 13 we cover one of the most coveted FP language features, Algebraic Data Types. https://t.co/tKgePegPui

@aut0mat0n1c It definitely helps Randy. Also, blame @dkoontz for the delay in new episodes.

[LambdaCast @lambdacast]

@aut0mat0n1c Thanks Randy, accessible was our #1 goal when starting the cast, glad to hear that it's working!

@gabeijohnson @Patreon Thanks so much Gabe! It's super encouraging seeing the support of the community for what we're trying to do.

@martinosis Thanks Martin, remember you can always send us some feedback if something doesn't make sense and we'll get it answered.
