Presentation: Tweet"What Every Hipster Should Know About Functional Reactive Programming"
You know how every functional programmer keeps going on about the Three Monad Laws and semigroup homomorphisms and honest-to-God Yoneda lemmas? I know, so embarrassingly mainstream, right? Any fool can spout the vocabulary; only the master knows how to instill existential dread in one's peers by forging lambda calculus and category theory into tools with real world applications. Show them your effortless code alongside your working application, and gleefully watch their terror grow as they comprehend your superiority.
Leave your applicatives at home, functional programming was last year. This year, functional reactive programming is a thing. You probably haven't heard of it, but this is your chance to get in on the game before the muggles. Marvel as we extend functional ideas into time itself. Shiver as we unwind callback hell. Cry with delight as we build a complete video game from nothing in the span of a conference talk. Oh, and get rid of that vintage scarf, this is the year of tie-dye.
