Tenth Func Prog Sweden MeetUp 2022

Welcome to the tenth Func Prog Sweden MeetUp 2022 – Online

The program starts at 18.
- Intro
- Actions as data by Alejandro Serrano
- Redy for Rust by Erik Dörnenburg

Redy for Rust
In the StackOverflow developer survey Rust has been the most loved programming language for five years in a row (2016-2021). Time to see why Mozilla's creation is so popular. In this talk you'll encounter many of Rust's core features on a journey through a real codebase (a genetic programming simulator). As someone who has programmed in a number of languages Erik will highlight where Rust is different from other languages and what that means in day-to-day development. You'll also get a glimpse of the growing ecosystem around Rust.

Actions as data
We often see data and behaviours as two separate worlds. But what happens when your domain requires you modelling behaviours or processes? In this talk we’ll look at how to use data types with functions in their fields to model a small card game. We’ll start with Kotlin, and at the end we’ll see how some of the patterns can be further abstracted in Haskell.
