Recording: scala.bythebay.io: Adil Akhter Interview

you well my name is a deal actor and I work for IG it's a bank in the Netherlands I worked there as a lead engineer well I started programming with Scala in 2010 at that time I was doing masters in the university so there was one course where they were teaching Scala that's how I got introduced to scala and then in the industry yeah if you if you have this choice either use Java or something else from the JVM language for this color is much nicer to use and therefore we selected scala wherever i walked after university and ige also is quite big with Scala is one of the biggest in the Netherlands in terms of scala developer so ideals tag out select Laura tools from the the type level initiative that's there so that I can work in a purely functional way write code in that manner but currently we have a lot of stuff like archives one of the core stuff that we're using spark to do a lot of data processing so yeah that's also not that bad you can write functional programs using at leasing spark not in a car though [Music] yeah I was quite interested to this in two mile seven yesterday so that was fun and also John who presented the co for eating and that was pretty cool I i really liked his tom so but that was yesterday I was here listening to him so I'm always looking forward to John talking about functional programming it's always fun to hear from him he has a lot of insight on how how modern functional programming and how modern functional programming our nature would look like so like to listen from him more coming conferences [Music] you
