Production Haskell Demystified

Core components of the software platform at Symbiont.IO are written in Haskell, which may come as a surprise to people who have only heard of it in the context of academic programming languages. In this talk, I'll walk attendees through a small demonstration showing off how Haskell enables programmers to easily model their solutions in such a way that the compiler can derive arbitrary data samples, JSON codecs, property testing, and even whole web APIs almost entirely "for free".
