Eric Torreborre
Eric is a recovering C++/Java developer who fell in love with functional programming and was incredibly happy the day he landed his first Scala job. The companies he has worked for range from very small start-ups to huge corps in all sort of sectors: telecoms, banking, pharmaceuticals, software editing.
This gave him an appreciation for the fact that producing software is so much more than just writing code! This is also why he started some open-source projects, to have his own territory, and created libraries like specs2 (for testing), eff (for monadic effects), or more recently registry (for another take on dependency injection).
He likes to learn and share with others so please say “hello” if you see him at the conference!

“Make illegal state irrepresentable” – Yaron Minsky
Starting from Yaron’s quote we will see where it traditionally applies: values sanitization (escaping), data structures (NonEmptyList), CS constructs (parsers). Does it still apply to the rest of the day-to-day...

Epic failure \/ success? Refactoring to *real* FP
Featuring Eric Torreborre
specs2 has been around for 4 years now and while it tried to take the “functional route” (with immutability at least), it is actually largely using uncontrolled effects.
This talk will present a diagnosis of everything that is not “functional” in specs2, and will describe...
