Deconstructing Lambdas-An Awkward Guide to Programming Without Functions

With Chris Penner!
We'll explore how profunctors are a foundational computing tool by expressing many programming patterns using the profunctor class hierarchy and profunctor transformations (a.k.a. hypermorphisms, a generalization over profunctor optics).
Chris Penner is a Haskell hobbyist and self-proclaimed incarnation of "Cunningham's Law". He enjoys writing and often blogs about Lenses, Representable Functors, Monoids, and everything in between. He recently wrote "Optics by Example", a compendium on the elusive art of lenses, prisms, traversals, and their applications in functional programming. In his spare time, you can find him in the park doing handstands or writing Progressive Metal tracks on his 1989 Nintendo Gameboy.
