Baseline is an interest in functional programming. Since that's the
audience of Philly Lambda I wouldn't want to assume any more. If you
really want to maximize what you get out of the talk I'd learn the
Haskell typeclass from the Learn You a Haskell Book. (Functor,
applicative functor, monad, monoid). If you know all that you'll be
able to focus strictly on the Scala/Scalaz angle.
