Tech Brunch Event

This edition of the recurring tech brunch focuses on functional programming and category theory. The group meets over brunch at the hotel restaurant Beltempo in Iidabashi to unwrap the abstractions behind monoids, functors, applicatives and monads, and to talk through how those ideas show up in practical software design. The conversation is aimed at people who work with languages such as Clojure, Haskell, OCaml or Scala, mathematicians who apply category theory in their own work, and developers who are simply curious about functional paradigms. Adjacent areas including algebra, graph theory, set theory and topology usually come up as well. It is deliberately a small gathering rather than a large event. First-time attendees who RSVP on Meetup and appear on the confirmed attendee list get their meal for free. RSVPs also matter for logistics, since the group may need to relocate and cannot guarantee that unregistered visitors will find them.
