Functional Programming eXchange 2009: Duncan Coutts on Strong Types and Pure Functions

Strong Types and Pure Functions
This talk is about the software engineering benefits we can obtain by controlling side effects. By starting with pure functions and using types to mark actions with side effects we can build custom computational environments and have strong guarantees about what side effects are permitted and are not permitted. We will look at where these guarantees can help us, particularly in enforcing interface contracts. Download the slides here
