Hey friends
I'd like to cordially invite you to Full Stack Meetup on May 8th starting at
6PM.
Boulder's own John Foley will be discussing parities between Ruby and pair
programming. An intriguing topic and sure to be a lively discussion. Prior to
that, José Valim will be introducing Elixir, a functional programming language
he's built on the Erlang VM with similar syntax to Ruby. If you love Ruby (of
course you do) but want to start experimenting with functional programming,
definitely come see this talk.
To get a quick taste of Elixir syntax, here's a snippet from their homepage:
def serve_drinks({ User, name, age }) when age < 21 do
raise "No way #{name}!"
end
def serve_drinks({ User, name, age }) do
# Code that serves drinks!
end
serve_drinks User.get("John")
#=> Raises "No way John!" if John is under 21
High quality food and beers will be served. Hope to see you there!
Mike
