From Functions to Inlinable Effects in Kotlin by Michail Zarecenskij
Lambda World 25

27m
In this talk, we'll explore how Kotlin combines imperative and functional programming styles. We'll look at how to manage effects without relying on effect handlers, how inline functions play a key role, and how must-use return values help gently distinguish pure functions from those with side effects. We'll also touch on the role of context programming and how it fits into this model. Along the way, we'll examine how these patterns perform at runtime and what trade-offs they bring.

Functional Rust: From ADTs to Advance...
Rust combines the rigour of functional programming with the low-level control of a systems language, giving developers the tools to model invariants, compose logic with clarity, and run workloads safely at scale. In this talk, we'll refactor a deliberately "bad" Rust example into a safe, expressi...

This talk shares the experience of building a web application in two functional languages: Clojure and Elixir. By looking at how each language shaped the architecture, tooling choices, and development workflow, we'll explore how different design philosophies show up in real-world projects. From C...
