LambdaCast Podcast
1) 22: Structuring Data
This time we discuss the way data tends to be structured in functional languages and some of the similarities with databases and REST. Episode 22 patrons: Jason Sooter Jamie Rolfs Christian Hamburger...Show More
2) 21: Type Parameters
You may have seen generics in C#, Java, or Swift but there are a lot of very useful patterns using generics that rarely get used in an OO context. In this episode, we explore Type Parameters (aka gene...Show More
3) 20: Laziness
Lazy evaluation is not normally something you hear programmers discussing but there is a lot of power available if you know how to use it. This episode we'll examine the differences between lazy and s...Show More
4) 19: Starting A Project Functionally
Logan walks us through what his experience has been starting a JavaScript project in a functional style and using the best FP tools he can get in the JavaScript ecosystem. Episode 19 patrons: Nathan ...Show More
5) 18: Monads
Monads, the promised land of functional programming. Or at least with all the hype they'd better be! Come join the cast as we demystify this overhyped structure that has become an indispensable part o...Show More
6) 17: Applicative Functors
Building on the power of functors we examine a few scenarios where a normal Functor is problematic. Fortunately, there is a closely related structure known as an Applicative Functor that can provide t...Show More
7) 16: Functors
Going deeper down the category theory rabbit hole, we explore one of the most common and useful abstractions in the functional programming world. You're likely already familiar with Functors but just ...Show More
8) 15: The FP Community
Join us as we discuss the FP community. FP has a reputation as harsh and impenetrable but is that really the case? What can you do to make FP a more inviting place? Episode 15 patrons: Chris Lopes G...Show More
9) 14: Dynamic and Static Languages
The kind of type system a functional language uses has a large impact on the way you use that language. In this episode we discuss the tradeoffs involved in using a static or dynamic language. Our pa...Show More
10) 13: ADTs
Algebraic Data Types (ADTs) are one of the most distinguishing features of statically typed functional languages. Come learn why they exist, how you can use them, and how they change your design. Jo...Show More
