Functional Conf is designed to bring together the growing community of functional programmers under one roof. This year we are excited to be meeting in-person again!
Functional programming (FP) has been a hot research topic for over three decades now. However, in the last ten years, driven by the need to build massively concurrent systems and to handle big-data in smarter ways, diverse companies – ranging from tech start-ups to financial institutes – are rapidly adopting FP concepts.
Currently, FP is at the heart of every new generation programming technology. Companies are employing FP to actuate more effective, robust, and flexible software development. This has given birth to an extremely vibrant community of functional programmers, who are constantly exploring new and varied ways to bring in FP concepts to the enterprise software development world.
