This is a video interview, where I am talking about what I see as the value proposition of functional programming, functional programming in industry, and how the YOW! Lambda Jam conference helps developers to get the most out of functional programming.
About
Welcome to the blog of Manuel M T Chakravarty. I am a computer scientist with a background in programming languages, parallel programming, distributed systems, and cryptography. My current research is mostly at the intersection of programming languages and cryptography with applications to permissionless blockchains. I am also a software developer who is passionate about functional programming. I develop for macOS, iOS, and Linux. I am the principal developer of Haskell for Mac, a unique programming environment for the Haskell programming language that facilitates learning and experimenting with code. I am mostly developing in Swift and Haskell. Check out some of my technical talks (some have video links). You can find me on Bluesky (@TacticalGrace.justtesting.org), Twitter (@TacticalGrace), GitHub, and LinkedIn.
