Richard Feldman, “Pushing Boundaries with Roc”

Abstract: Roc is a purely functional programming language. It’s currently in a pre-release stage of development, but it already has a lot of interesting characteristics. This talk walks through three code bases for the same application – one written in Roc, and the other two in popular imperative languages (one dynamically typed and one statically typed), and shows how Roc is pushing the boundaries of what’s been possible in traditional dynamically typed or statically typed languages.

Bio: Richard is the creator of the Roc functional programming language, the author of “Elm in Action” from Manning Publications, and the instructor for several Frontend Masters workshops: Introduction to Elm, Advanced Elm, and Introduction to Rust. Since 2013 he’s worked at NoRedInk, a company that builds widely-used software for English teachers using functional programming languages. (We’re hiring!)
