Had the pleasure of having Eric as a lecturer for multiple courses in Uni. The guy went so fast and at the time I thought it was plain wasteful, but his talks plant seeds and resonate in your head through the years.
Great and entertaining presentation with many memorable quotes. I liked eg the one at 13:00 "You cannot beat the math ... I wasted 5 years of my life trying to do this."
pure :: A -> T A and flatten :: T ( T A) -> T A are quote / eval in Lisp... Think of each Monad as a "mini-interpreter" representing only one semantic (one line of the eval interpreter).
If each function you create with ML has 95% success rate, and if you have 10 functions in your average call stack, then your app has a success rate of 60% (0.95 raised to the power of 10 = 0.60). Overall 40% failure for even the most simple app.. Good luck on your next fad Erik.

He's awesome as always ! Love his every talk!
Erik Meijer is, as usual, brilliant. I just couldn't believe that he'll be speaking about Kotlin :)
and php
Wow, mind-blowing talk!
great talk, and the t-shirt!
Brilliant, as always!
I looked at 30 minutes of enthusiasm from a beginner discovering ML. I am happy for him, but I expected more out of Erik.
What a great guy. So selfless and open minded.

So he predicted copilot 5 year earlier 😅

I don't think you got the gist of it
SF destroyed him. Sad.
Explain...
