Migrating a large codebase from Ruby to Haskell

Understand the power of type systems using a practical application: concurrency

Outline

I will talk about one of the craziest applications of using types to solve an incredibly complex problem: concurrency. This talk will look at Haskell’s STM (Software Transactional Memory) to motivate the power of type systems

Requirements

Basic understanding of types
