You won't need to know any Scalaz to understand the talk. I'm trying to do two things, simultaneously. (1) Demonstrate the common Haskell typeclasses, (2) show how those ideas are expertly encoded in Scala by the Scalaz developers so you can go home and encode your own functional ideas using Scala. So if my first goal succeeds, you'll know what monads and functors are when you leave, if you don't already. If my second goal succeeds you'll see how Scala can be stretched to do some pretty funky things. Yuvi On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 11:06 PM, Todun Osunloye <todun@seas.upenn.edu> wrote: > Good topic.
