Ask HN: Best Talks of 2019 ?, Hacker News

>Why isn’t functional programming the norm ?
This talk is very good. It’s one of the few talks that I’ve overheard classmates talk about. It not only asks a question a lot of people exposed to functional programming at university asks, but also answers it in a way where you learn more about the world of programming and programming languages than you expected.

Most people in this thread are posting a link. and a title of the talk. I think it would be useful to hear why you thought the talk was the best.

The reason I’m posting this in “best talks of “is not because I think it was a good talk (my ego isn’t that big yet) but because I think very few talks exist on the subject of Behavioral Programming, and it’s a subject I’m hoping can get more attention.

That man is a gold mine. And I always learn something interesting.

simultaneously. The Bronze Age is magical and interesting of itself, the talk gives a great introduction as to why we know much more about it than we think .. definitely recommended.

Duration ~ 1 hour (feels like (minutes)
