Edwin Brady is the creator of the Idris programming language and Author of the book Type-Driven Development with Idris and a computer science lecturer.  The book, the language and Edwin himself all seem to be chock full of ideas for improving the way computer programming is done, by applying ideas from programming language theory.   In this interview, we discuss dependent types, type holes, interactive and type-driven development, theorem provers, Curry–Howard correspondence, dependant haskell, total functional programming, British vs American spelling and much more.     Links: The Book Idris Lectures at OPLSS Idris Language Site

Functional Programming Interview: Domain Driven Design meets Functional Programming

January 22, 2018 56:02 53.79 MB Downloads: 0

In object oriented languages, modeling a complex problem domain is a well understood process.  Books like Domain Driven Design contain techniques for breaking down a problem domain and earlier books like the gang of four book catalogue design patterns for modeling these domains in an object oriented way. In today’s interview Debashish Ghosh explains how to model a complex problem domain in a functional paradigm.  His solution focuses on modelling the behaviour of the software system rather than nouns it will contain.  He also focuses on an algebraic approach to api design and discusses how abstract algebra provides tools for building better software. Episode Page Episode Transcript “I first come up with what I call the algebra of the behaviors. The algebra of the behaviors refers to the basic contract, which the behavior is supposed to support, which the behavior is supposed to honor. So that's the algebra.” -Debashish Ghosh Links: Debashish's Book
