Distributed Pure Functions by Richard Feldman

[@Flourish38]

I’ve come to have high expectations for Richard Feldman talks, and I’m yet to be disappointed. Incredible talk!

[@jeremymcadams7743]

I've watched like 3 and I'm now looking at picking up a functional language

[@dwylhq874]

Didn’t expect to see Richard Feldman on this channel. Awesome as always! 😍

Richard Feldman is half the reason to watch any talk by Richard Feldman. Not sure if it already does, but Roc might need to pick a niche first and then expand from there.

[@laughingvampire7555]

I wanna know if the Roc team will ever make a JavaScript platform or will Richard always say "Use Elm"

[@asksage]

I think he has said in one of the interviews that he is happy to continue to use Elm on the frontend.

[@Qrzychu92]

I think they already compile to WebAssembly, so that's doable :)

Commutativity is not the important factor for the reduce function; assiciativity is.

[@danamoroso-xjq]

if someone comes here wondering - like I was - about what the animation is showing when talking about quicksort, I believe it's the Lomuto partitioning.

[@laughingvampire7555]

well, 8:25 thats obvious because when you parallelize you are adding communication problem, however, the reason you add concurrency is to get fault-tolerance and high availability.

[@kellymoses8566]

Supercomputers simply replace a compute limitation with a communication limitation.

Louis CK is one of the best programmers I know!

[@laughingvampire7555]

well, data is always immutable, what it is mutable is rw storage
