A Fistful of Functors
Featuring Itamar Ravid
Functors show up everywhere in our day-to-day programming. They're so common, we take them for granted – especially in typed functional programming. Besides being common, they're incredibly useful for code reuse. However, functors have some lesser known variants: profunctors, bifunctors,...

Monad I Love You Now Get Out of My Type System
Featuring Gjeta Gjyshinca and James Belsey

Connecting the Dots With (Distributed) Tracing
Featuring Petra Bierleutgeb
In microservice-oriented, asynchronous and often event-driven systems, looking at traditional log files only gives a glimpse of the whole story. In such systems, and even within a single service, tracing and correlated logs are important tools to maintain the ability to comprehend logical flows...

Meetings With Remarkable Trees
Featuring Bodil Stokke
Everybody knows the classic cons list. Clojeurs brag about their bitmapped vector tries. Haskell weenies took it up a notch with their impossible finger trees. Rustaceans turned back the clock and gave us simple arrays again.
