I am programming (for) the JVM for a long time. I have seen quite a few conferences and tons of Java programmers and I can guess what they are curious in and what they need. nevertheless during the last fewer years I have started to meet different group of programmers. Functional ones.
Functional programmers are different. They think differently. They do things differently. Most of them finds Java ridiculous. Are they right or do they just preach water and drink wine?
I have had quite a few opportunities to watch them and think about specified a question. I believe I do realize them now. At the end "who wants to hang out with wolves, has to howl with them"...
During my talk I am ready to shine a light on this functional planet and uncover all the secrets it tries to hide in front of JVM developers!
