Indexed state! Zipper comonad! What are these words and co-words? There's lots of jargon in functional programming, and without context, it seems pretty academic. In this talk, I'll show a few lesser known functional constructs and how they can be put to work in a day-to-day usecase.  |  Dvir Faivel Interested in Scala, functional programming, big data, parallel and distributed programming, and more geeky stuff The Math Behind Functional Languages (HE) Explaining functional programming concepts we use daily such as type-classes, semi-groups and monoids |
| 10:30 - 11:00 |  Asher Manning Formal methods developer at Zen Protocol, Asher is the developer of F* - a dependently typed functional language used for making safe blockchain transactions. Practical Dependent Types for Better Blockchains Learn about dependent types - what they are, how to use them - and how they can improve your code! |  Michael Snoyman Michael Snoyman is the founder and lead developer of multiple Haskell open source projects, including Yesod, Conduit, Stack, and Stackage. His main interests are creating developer-friendly, high performance libraries that minimize bugs.

Workshop - Haskell from the Inside Out Learn the basic assumptions of Haskell that lead to its many distinguishing features |
| 11:00 - 11:30 | Short Break | Workshop Continues |
| 11:30 - 12:00 |  Daniel Szmulewicz Software craftsman / Entrepreneur / Founder of the Clojure user group in Israel Practical functional programming with Clojure The natural programming style for Lisp is functional. One could argue that it stems from its DNA: the lambda calculus, of course, but also the original paper by John McCarthy which shows a purely functional system to compute algebraic expressions. However, the better known implementations of Lisp have all been impurely functional. In this talk, we will explain why and how Clojure is firmly entrenched in the functional mindset, imbued with the notion that side-effects are to be contained, and that our programs ought to be written with referential transparency in mind. | Workshop Continues |
| 12:00 - 12:30 |  Avi Avni Avi Avni is a Consultant and Instructor at SELA Group, With 7+ years of industry experience. Avi specializes in design and development of large scale applications and diagnosing memory and CPU performance issues. Avi has 2+ years experience as a team leader.

| 14:00 - 14:15 |  Sharon Shmorak Sharon is a senior Java back-end developer with 20 years of experience writing imperative/OOP code and a functional programmer in the making. Sharon is currently learning Scala, Haskell, Category theory and Lambda calculus. She blogs about the process of learning functional programming on Medium. Functional Programming is for Everyone (Lightning Talk) Functional programming is enjoying mainstream attention in the last few years, yet very few companies in Israel are actually practicing functional programming. In this talk I’ll suggest a few possible explanations and present opportunities I see to make functional programming catch fire. | |
| 14:15 - 14:30 |  Ilya Sher Systems and software engineer, professionally since 2001. Frustrated by the void, working on NGS, a domain specific language and a shell for systems engineering tasks. Why Choosing Functional Programming for Doing DevOps (Lightning Talk) Creator of NGS, a domain specific language for systems engineering tasks, speaks about the unique combination of functional features in NGS and how they fit the design and the purpose of the language. | |
| 14:30 - 15:00 |  Amitai Burstein CTO of Gizra, a web development shop building sites for Harvard university, UN, EC and more. Amitai is a Drupal core developer running Elm on production. Elm from a Business Perspective In Gizra, we run an unusual stack that helps us reach blazing fast websites - Drupal runs our backends, Elm in the front, and most recently Yesod (a Haskell framework). There’s a certain mindset in choosing these technologies - it’s about the idea of “correctness”; making sure we can move quickly without breaking stuff. In this session, I’ll provide an in depth explanation about this mindset both from the development perspective, and the business one. | |
| 15:00 - 15:30 |  Boris Farber Boris is an Engineer focusing on Android optimizations with tooling. His technical interests include Android, Kotlin and Java I/O. Boris has broad experience in software development, customer facing and professional services, and currently works at Google as a Senior Partner Engineer.

As part of my passion for challenges, I did an M.Sc where I majored in solving security problems using Machine learning. Make it Clean - Workshop Can we find a way to write easy to understand, readable and fairly “clean” lambda expressions? This is a TOUGH question. Many experienced programmers which are new (or not...) to lambdas fail miserably. I’ve been trying to tackle this challenge in scala and today I will share with you how to CLEAN your scala code. |
| 16:30 - 17:00 |  Ziv Perry R&D Team leader at Binah.ai with more than 20 years of experience in system architecture and software engineering.

| 17:30 - 18:00 |  Gil Mizrahi A Haskell developer by day and night, I enjoy implementing interesting applications in purely functional style. Purely Functional Games Games are often considered to be inherently mutable, event driven programs, and are usually considered a "bad fit" for functional programming. Is that really the case? If not, how would a game written in a purely functional style look like? In this talk we'll try to provide answers to these questions. | Workshop Continues |
| 18:00 - 18:45 |  Hila Noga Hila has 14 years of experience building software, training software builders, and managing teams that build software. Up until recently, she was the CTO of Hello Heart, where she fell in love with functional programming while building the company's back end using Scala. These days she is flying under the radar and working on her own project. Make Your Own Functional Programmers Recruiting functional programmers is hard. Have you considered making your own? Let's talk about how to build an effective training program that will quickly transform any die-hard Java-loving and design-patterns-chanting imperative programmer, without requiring too much of your lead engineer's time. | |
