Paul Biggar, "Darklang: A Functional Language for the Cloud"
Channel: Houston FPUG
Date: 2023-02-17

I’ll introduce and demo darklang, a “deployless” programming language for building cloud backends, talking about why I built it and what it’s good for. I’ll focus a little bit on why we chose a functional language, and how functional paradigms (esp immutability) allow us build features that don’t exist elsewhere.

Bio: Paul Biggar is the founder of Darklang, and previously was Founder and CEO of CircleCI. He lives in NYC after a decade in SF and growing up in Dublin, Ireland. He has a PhD in compilers and static analysis, and enjoys pastries and history.
