Paweł Szulc

Thoughts to code compiler

Paweł Szulc is a seasoned developer with a rich background in functional programming languages, including Scala and Haskell. Known in the developer community as "EncodePanda," Paweł is passionate about exploring complex software design patterns and bridging the gap between practicality and expressiveness in code.

Recently, Paweł has expanded his expertise to include Rust, intrigued by its powerful system-level programming capabilities and the language’s emphasis on memory safety without sacrificing performance. His transition to Rust aligns well with his interest in leveraging expressive type systems to write robust, efficient software.

Effectful

In this 20 minutes presentation, Pawel will introduce us to a brand new library called Effectful. It is in fact yet another effects library in Haskell, but potentially one that may finally win the "effects war".

Effectful comes with nice ergonomics - similar to what we would find in Polysemy. At the same time, Effectful is blazing fast - internally under the hood, it is implementing the ReaderT pattern.  

Can we have the best of two worlds? Polysemy-like interface with minimal abstraction costs similar to ReaderT pattern? You will have to join the talk to find out!
