  • #43 PL in the Industry and Summer Schools - Patrick and Eric
    Sep 13 2024

    In this episode Eric Bond and Patrick Lafontaine joins us to talk about the life in industry vs the life in academia. Eric is a PhD student at Michigan University under Max New, he works with some pretty cool esoteric cubical agda stuff. Before starting his PhD he has spent some time at the consultancy companies Two Six Technologies and 47 Degrees doing some cool functional programming and formal methods. Before that we were pals doing an internship at Galois, and even before that he finished his masters with Benjamin Delaware at Purdue, Patrick’s current advisor. Patrick has just returned from his internship at AWS in the automated reasoning team. So in this episode we talk about their research, their academic and industry experiences, how’s the industry looking like for opportunities in PL and all that.

  • #41 The Value of PL (and) Education - Satnam Singh
    Aug 15 2024

    Satnam Singh has got incredible experience in both academia and industry. He has worked in Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Microsoft Research, Xilinx, etc. He has been a lecturer in Glasgow, Birmingham and University of California for a couple of years. He has worked with many interesting tools such Coq, Haskell, Verilog, Tensorflow. These days he works at Groq, applying FP to design silicon for machine learning. In this episode we talk about the value of specification, the current state of academia, gaming the metrics, functional programming in hardware, bullying, among other things.

  • #39 Equality, Quotation, Bidirectional Type Checking - David Christiansen
    Jun 13 2024

    In this episode we continue our conversation with David Christiansen, he wrote the books Functional Programming in Lean and the Little Typer.

    He has also worked as the Executive Director of the Haskell Foundation, at Galois and did his PhD developing a bunch of cool stuff for Idris.

    In today’s episode we talk about the story behind writing The Little Typer together with Dan Friedman, and we get more technical by talking about Equality, Bidirectional Type Checking, Quotation and Quasi Quotation.

  • #38 Haskell, Lean, Idris, and the Art of Writing - David Christiansen
    May 16 2024

    In this episode we talk with David Christiansen, he wrote the books Functional Programming in Lean and the Little Typer.

    He has also worked as the Executive Director of the Haskell Foundation, at Galois and did his PhD developing a bunch of cool stuff for Idris.

    David is a super upbeat person and I feel that we could spend hundreds of hours talking about Functional Programming Writing and Dependent Types, and we still wouldn’t run out of topics!
