Across the Kmettverse with Edward Kmett

Across the Kmettverse with Edward Kmett

In this month’s episode of Functional Futures, our guest is Edward Kmett – Head of Software Engineering at Groq and the author of many widely-used Haskell libraries.  In the episode, we talk about his life story – how he got from being broke and in debt to learning category theory and authoring numerous Haskell libraries. We also talk about programming languages and projects beyond Haskell that make Edward excited right now.

Functional Programming and Web3 with Brooklyn Zelenka

Functional Programming and Web3 with Brooklyn Zelenka

In the first episode of the Functional Futures podcast, our guest is Brooklyn Zelenka, the co-founder & CTO of FISSION, an applied research company developing local-first and user-controlled applications. Brooklyn is also the author of Witchcraft, a library for writing Haskell “fan-fiction” in Elixir.

In the episode, we talk about her path towards becoming a developer, functional programming in general, and Witchcraft. We also discuss the good and bad parts of Web3.
