Amit Dev - Deeply Interested in Functional Programming & Applying Functional Techniques in Software Design

ABSTRACT
Rust is a multi paradigm language with performance and safety as primary goals. Rust is strongly influenced by functional programming languages like ML, so it is possible to follow a functional coding style. In this talk I will explore the features of Rust that makes it a good choice for functional programming as well as its drawbacks.

Following areas will be covered:
• Algebraic Data Types
• Pattern matching
• Brief overview on Ownership and Lifetimes in Rust
• Higher order functions and combinators
• An extended example that makes use of the above as well as slightly advanced topics.

In addition to the above the strengths and weakness of Rust as a functional programming language will be compared. [...]
