Recording: scala.bythebay.io: Tim Hunter Interview
you so yeah so my name is Timothy hunter and I'm working at data brakes which of the company founded by the creator of apache spark and their work as an engineer on ml Abe so the machinery component of spark yeah definitely so the first programming language I seriously did with the camel not even not even ok i molded camel lights and so I started already with a functional background and after that during my PhD during the first year one of my link colleagues told me hey you should try out this language it's called skylights come from Switzerland is crazy and you might like it and back then it was I think scale at 2.6 which was a back then which was a while back and I really liked it it's it I really like the balance of imperative and functional programming that you could do with it and it also at the time when i discovered spark and i really like the potential of being able to do functional programming on on a large cluster using language attack is very easy to use for expressing some opinions [Music] so okay so the yeah I know that yeah that's that big question so that the stack I'm really interested in seeing right now is starting from essentially a high level having a highly containerized stack with and where you have a good orchestration system either mezzo suku benetti's and essentially running a lot of services within ducker and within these services my background is mostly machine learning and doing big data so i really like to be able to combine technology left calf calf was trimming with a spark for doing them the heavy processing and then for example time to flow for doing the more crazy advanced machine learning after that and as far as building all of that is concerned then I real I really like using basil because it's actually very functional when you think about it and very declarative and then of course I scallop for writing the whole the whole thing I [Music] remember a few years ago when Alex II was talking about mob setting up the this conference of all the skela users and scale developers are around around the bay here and I'm really excited to see how how much it has grown and how much it reflects now that the diversity of the use cases of skele around and around all the technologies that has been built around there you
