Hello! Since the old channel is gone I think it's time for a shameless plug 😆

On the 15th I'm doing a Gleam talk at the Unibo Campus in Cesena all the details are in the flier if any italian Gleamlin might be interested.
The organisers also said that they won't be recording the event but I can do it myself if partecipants are ok with it! I'll try to record it and upload it somewhere!

The talk is going to be geared towards a Java/OOP audience of students and is going to drill down on how a lot of "best practices" we learn in the OOP world are actually the only way of doing things in functional languages like Gleam/Elm (try to avoid null as much as possible, don't use exceptions as a control flow mechanism, favour immutable data structures over mutable ones, ...)

That's a very pretty graphic 🙂 I know you said the talk won't be recorded or anything, would you consider writing it up as a blog post or making the deck available at least afterwards?

We have a PL lecture at polimi where we also learn a bit about Erlang. If you want I could post the flyer in the telegram group and/or a link to here

@stoic perch where can I watch the recording once it’s available?

stoic perch
#

The recording it’s not the best it was a last minute thing though

#

And I just realised how much I walk when I talk 😂

#

The room was huge and half of the time I’m out of the frame 💀

lmfao

#

not being able to walk around for the code beam one was rubbish

stoic perch
#

That's horrible, pacing around really helps me keep calm and I sure as hell needed that 💀

#

i like to point at the presentation and stuff 😭

#

yeah its so much more awkward if you have to stand in place

Right before the talk my apple watch sent me an alert because my heart rate at rest was over 100bpms lolsob
