Lambda World 2025 trip report is up! ✨
Made the pilgrimage to Cádiz again for two days of #FunctionalProgramming goodness. Kotlin DSLs, Rust workshops, AI-native languages, and debates about whether LLMs will replace us all (spoiler: maybe?).
Also: I got publicly mocked for complaining about […]
Last week, I spoke at #LambdaWorld with my colleague @isaias-b.bsky.social.
Thanks to the organizers for such a welcoming event, and to @eschmiegelow.bsky.social and @franziskawoeckel.bsky.social from @hivemindtechnologies.com for allowing us to work on this project.
See you next year!
#FP #Scala
Had an amazing time at #LambdaWorld 25!
Gave 2 workshops with @serranofp.com about @kotlinlang.org. Had great chats about Kotlin not the server, for FP, Kotlin Notebooks, @jetbrains.com and @intellijidea.com 😍
You can find the workshops here: jb.gg/tj9qf6
Hope to see you all next year!
Zainab Ali very much taking up the baton from Noel Welsh on making Scala fun to play with by demoing her new Aquascape #FS2 visualisation library for her standout talk at #Lambdaworld. https://zainab-ali.github.io/aquascape/
Masterclass presenting tricks on show included,
- drive-by demos of […]
Still fuming about the AI keynote from the #Lambdaworld conference this morning. Some audience members asked if there was any risk AI models wouldn't continue to improve and the speaker explained that there wouldn't be vast amounts of money pouring into AI if it wasn't going to keep improving.
Looking forward to Lennart Augustsson explaining how these fun features of Epic Games new functional logic language Verse will make coding Unreal engine games easier. Not entirely convinced yet that he will... but it sure is interesting... #Lambdaworld
I stopped off in #Grazalema for a couple of nights before #Lambdaworld to explore. The first day I set out to climb Mt Simancón (1,569 m - 2nd highest peak in the area) on a circular route above the white village. In these two shots shortly after the first […]

Californian Entrepeneur Anurag Mendhekar giving a very upbeat keynote on AI coding tools continuing to greatly improve at #Lambdaworld presaged on the axiom that, "no tool ever gets worse". And yet my experience is that even before enshittification many tools […]

In response to #LambdaWorld audience questions on the future of #Scala, director at JP Morgan Jack Higgs bemoans that because of the vast amount of macro generated code his team has - no viable migration path exists for them to migrate from Scala v2 to v3. When v2 gets EOLed thay will have to […]
Very low key shoutout for #smithy4s by JP Morgan director Jack Higgs during first day #Lambaworld keynote. Later elaborates that meta-programming, complex domain logic and safe concurrency are just about the only viable use-cases left for functional programming languages in large businesses.
Woken up at ungodly hour to reach Cadiz and attend to #lambdaworld , the best #functionalprogramming conference in the ... well, world.
Ignacio Gallego Sagastume's talk about "Prompting Safely: Building Secure LLM Prompts with a Scala DSL"
Are you or your company working with #LLMs and #Scala?
Join me next October 24th at #LambdaWorld conference!
I will be giving a presentation about a Scala DSL for building and composing LLM prompts safely.
Last week for Standard Tuna tickets!
#AI @hivemindtechnologies.com @scala-lang.org
Exciting news! 🚀
Our Senior Developer Ignacio will be giving a talk at this year's #LambdaWorld in Cadiz, Spain
I just got my ticket for #lambdaWorld Cadiz 2025. Is anyone else going?? lambda.world #functionalProgramming
Lambda World 2024 took place in Spain earlier this month, and Stephen Taylor spoke about functional programming’s roots in APL, and what array languages offer functional programmers today. Watch his presentation "Hooray for Arrays" at

The closing talk was given by Robert Virding, one of the creators of Erlang, and was about concurrency. Having the opportunity to ask him questions and hear about his experience is a luxury #lambdaWorld.
Stine Kromberg will be speaking at Lambda World in Cadiz, Spain on 4 October 2024.
Our CEO, Stine, is speaking at Lambda World 2024 next week. This year, #LambdaWorld (“the largest Functional programming event in South Europe”) is taking place 2-4 October in Cádiz, Spain.
