These talks are open to the interested public–please join us! (There is no need to pre-register for the talk.)</p> <p>abstract: At this year’s WWDC, Apple announced Swift, a new programming language for iOS and OS X development. In this talk, I’d like to give a brief overview of the language, focussing on its ‘functional features’. I’ll try to demonstrate that there are exciting new possibilities for applying functional programming technology to a new platform — like writing an app that computes Fibonacci numbers without using a for-loop.</p> <p>bio: Wouter Swierstra is a lecturer at the University of Utrecht. He has recently written a book, Functional Programming in Swift, together with Chris Eidhof and Florian Kugler.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://galois.com/blog/2014/10/tech-talk-functional-programming-swift/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
