The Slow Steady Industry Move Toward Tacit Programming
53:26
Summary
We're all aware that the industry is moving from Object-Orientation toward Functional Programming, but the move may be even deeper than that. As we adopt a strong compositional style using tools like LINQ, Rx, Java Streams, and Ruby's Enumerable, we find that we approach a type of programming that is closer to what is common in the APL family of languages.

the echo on this makes it hard to continue listening, which is frustrating as I really want to see the presentation. Isnt there some post production magic that can be run to mitigate the echoes

“Can you get used to programming this way?”
I’m immersing myself in Python these days and many of these concepts are similar to “pythonic” ways. It is indeed a trend in the industry and I can’t wait to see how it plays out.
