    #17 Don Syme

    I sit down with Don Syme, the creator of F#! We chat about language design, the "sweet spot" of type system expressivity, and how A.I. will affect the future of software development. Topics covered: The origin story of F#Why types, data modeling, and functions beats type-level wizardryThe Object-Oriented tidal wave of the 90sDesigning programming languages for the real worldThe case against type classes, and why simpler systems often win in real engineering.How task-oriented AI workflows are reshaping developer productivity.Why writing good constraints and guardrails may become as important as writing good code.Will programming languages still matter?Continuous AI for teamsNatural language as a programming model What Kind of Programming is Natural Language Programming?On Natural Language ProgrammingThe Early History of F#Bora's LawOn Type ClassesThe Max-Abstraction Impulse, and Everything Else Wrong with Type-Level Genericity

    #16 Adam Tornhill

    In this episode I sit down with Adam Tornhill, founder of CodeScene, to talk about technical debt, Clojure, and why it's so hard to write good software. Topics covered From electrical engineering to software psychologyWhy writing good code is so hardThe origin story of CodeSceneWhat technical debt really is, and why traditional metrics like cyclomatic complexity fall shortCode health: measuring what makes code hard to understandVisualizing code to align engineering and managementThe story behind Your Code as a Crime SceneMaking the business case for refactoringLean manufacturing vs. software: the visibility problemCode quality and business impact (10× slower, 15× more defects)AI-friendly code: when LLMs break (and why)How technical debt amplifies AI failure ratesAI as an engineering force multiplier (or multiplier of chaos)The future developer: AI team lead?Why Adam chose Clojure for CodeSceneImmutability, REPLs, and iterative problem solvingTest-driven development as cognitive supportPerformance myths in dynamic languagesParallelism made simple with immutabilityThe real drawbacks of ClojureStatic vs dynamic typing in large codebasesHiring in niche languages: small pool, strong engineersNaming, domain modeling, and long-term code healthLinks AI-Ready Code: How Code Health Determines AI PerformanceCode Red: The Business Impact of Code QualityYour Code as a Crime SceneTreat Your Code as a Crime SceneBeating the AveragesCodeScene.comAdamTornhill.com

    #15 Giacomo Cavalieri

    In this episode, I talk to Giacomo Cavalieri, a core Gleam team member. We cover what makes Gleam special and why developers love it, and how it brings modern type safety to the battle-tested Erlang ecosystem. How did Gleam become Stack Overflow's 2nd most admired language in such a short time? Listen to the episode and find out! Topics Covered Gleam's design philosophy of simplicity and the "one way of doing things" approachStatically typed functional programming with the Hindley-Milner type systemHow Gleam targets the BEAM VM and JavaScript for full-stack developmentThe history of BEAM and OTPWho uses Gleam in productionThe Lustre framework for building web applications in GleamIntegrating Gleam with OTPHow Gleam made it to 2nd Most Admired Language in the Stack Overflow 2025 SurveyHow to speak at conferencesWhy Gleam deliberately excludes type classes and traitsThe future of GleamLinks Gleam.runGleam Language TourGleam RoadmapGleam Case StudiesGiacomo Cavalieri's WebsiteGiacomo's Func Prog Conference TalkGiacomo's GitHubGiacomo's BlueSkyGiacomo's TwitchLustre Web FrameworkGleam OTP LibraryStack Overflow Developer Survey 2025Func Prog ConferenceCode BEAM EuropeGOTO CopenhagenLambda Days ConferenceStrand Case StudyUncoverThe Zen of Python (PEP 20)Paul Graham's Blub Paradox

    #14 Robert Kreuzer

    In this episode, I sit down with Robert Kreuzer, co-founder and CTO at Channable, to hear what it's like using Haskell in production. You will hear the story of Channable, and how Haskell worked its way into their code base. Topics covered: How Channable got started How pivoting from their initial idea made Channable a success Using Haskell in production What are the pros and cons of using Haskell? Haskell VS Rust Hiring for Haskell Links: Channable Channable jobs The origin story of Haskell at Channable Effectful David Christensen - Coding for Types Robert Kreuzer on LinkedIn

    #13 Matthías Páll Gissurarson

    What is the future of Haskell, program generation and AI? I sit down with Matthías Páll Gissurarson and try to figure this out, along with the optimal development setup... and of course, deadlifts! Topics covered: Haskell Typed holes Using AI for code generation Lift weights, not just monads Links: Starting Strength Pumping Iron You come to me at runtime, to tell me the code you are executing does not compile The Lambda Cube Ghost in the Haskell Matthias website CSI: Haskell Synthesis and Repair for Functional Programming: A Type- and Test-Driven Approach The Spectacular paper PropR: Property-Based Automatic Program Repair

    #11 Elisabeth Stenholm

    In this episode I talk to Elisabeth Stenholm about dependent types, proof assistans and homotopy type theory! If you're ready to take your type safety to the next level, then this episode is for you! We cover topics like: Homotopy type theory Proof assistants Languages Rocq, Lean4, Agda, Idris Proving theorems in Lean4 How to get started with dependent types and proof assistants Links Theorems for free Propositions as typesElisabeth’s Func Prog presentation Formally verified C compiler Property-based testing in F#Building Idris in Idris Elisabeth's PhD thesis

    #10 Robert Smith

    In this podcast I get down to business with Robert Smith, the creator of Coalton, a language-within-a-language for Common Lisp. We cover a bunch of things, including: LISP through the years REPL-driven development (and why you might not always want a REPL attached!) What makes Common Lisp special How Coalton brings a powerful, Haskell-like type system to Common Lisp Writing efficient code without turning your beautiful Common Lisp code into pulp Had I given my podcasts titles, this one could be called "Much Ado About Macros" Episode links: Toward safe, flexible, and efficient software in Common Lisp Debugging Lisp in space A Road to Common Lisp Coalton Hackett stylewarning.com @stylewarning
