Sponsors Adventures in Blockchain Sentry– use the code “devchat” for $100 credit  My Ruby Story Panel Aimee Knight  Chris Buecheler AJ O’Neal With Special Guest: Brian Lonsdorf Episode Summary Brian Lonsdorf works for Salesforce, specializes in functional programming, and wrote a book called Professor Frisby’s Mostly Adequate Guide to Functional Programming. Brian talks about when he got into functional programming and when in their career others should be exposed to it. He talks about the fundamental tenets of functional programming (static mathematical functions), how it differs from object oriented programming, and how to manipulate data in a functional environment. The panel wonders if it is possible to use functional and object oriented programming together and discuss the functional core imperative shell. Brian talks about what is ‘super functional’ and why JavaScript isn’t, but includes methods for making it work. He shares some of the trade-offs he’s found while doing functional programming. Brian defines a monad and goes over some of the common questions he gets about functional programming, such as how to model an app using functional programming. The show concludes with Brian talking about some of the work he’s been doing in AI and machine learning.  Links Promise Functional core, imperative shell RxJs Monad Professor Frisby's Mostly Adequate Guide to Functional Programming Follow DevChat on Facebook and Twitter Picks Aimee Knight: After The Burial (band) Chris Buecheler: Minecraft in JavaScript AJ O’Neal: Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen Greenlock v3 campaign Brian Lonsdorf: Follow Brian @drboolean Chris Penner Comonads

Joel and Brian Lonsdorf discuss the pain and growth of learning, math as a source of truth, dispelling that idea that you need to be a wizard to enter the functional programming space, and finally how you can start including functional concepts in your day to day work.There's a reason that mathematicians tend to be the best functional programmers. The theories and patterns directly apply, it has truth and purity. It's powerful, almost powerful enough to describe everything, so what makes people turn away from it?Traditionally, math gets taught in a dry manner from a young age, tables are memorized, and facts get drilled. It isn't until much later that interesting concepts like set theory get introduced, and at that point, it's too late for many people.Material that's "dry" doesn't have to be taught that way. It's been three and a half years since Brian first put Professor's Frisby's guide up on Github and it brought light and friendly perspective to heavy material. It showed that the functional programming paradigm was learnable without requiring a deep dive into Haskell.The deep dive doesn't work for everyone. There's merit in starting with something like Gatsby and just getting something out there that you can play with immediately, and then later learn the fundamentals of Javascript. The same thing applies to learning functional programming. You can start composing with Lodash and ease into the deeper patterns and concepts.Transcript"Math and Functional Programming Aren't Exclusive to Wizards with Brian Lonsdorf" TranscriptResources:Professor Frisby's Mostly Adequate Guide to Functional ProgrammingProfessor Frisby Introduces Composable Functional JavaScriptFunctional Composition with LodashState Monad in JavaScriptBrian Lonsdorf:GithubTwitterMediumJoel Hooks:TwitterWebsite

In this episode John sits down to talk to Paul Frend and Brian Lonsdorf (aka Dr Boolean) about functional programming, and its practical use cases on the job. Paul has released a new course on egghead.io covering the topic of transducers that is the spark for this conversation.Transducers are a a useful pattern that can deliver performance and readability, but are often misunderstood or obscure to many programmers. Along with transducers you'll learn more about monoids, folds, lenses and so much more.Transcript"Functional JavaScript with Paul Frend and Brian Lonsdorf (Dr Boolean)" TranscriptResourcesProfessor Frisby Introduces Composable Functional JavaScriptQuickly Transforming Data with Transducersflunc opticspartial.lensesBrian LonsdorfTwitterGithubegghead.ioPaul FrendTwitterGithubegghead.ioJohn LindquistTwitteregghead.ioGithubWebsite

Brian is the lead user experience engineer at Salesforce. More importantly, Brian is the first person in history to leverage highly educated stop-motion hedgehogs to make functional programming accessible to javascript developers! He is a regular speaker at conferences, an author, a podcast host, and a teacher who has a knack for making complicated content fun to learn.

In this episode I talk with Brian Lonsdorf. We talk his intro to functional programming, introducing functional programming concepts using JavaScript, function composition, pure functions, and when he decides to choose between dynamic and static type systems.
