2025 was a wild year for developers! In the latest Happy Path Programming podcast, @BruceEckel and I recap the highlights and ponder what may be ahead for Effect Oriented Programming and AI: youtu.be/U3AUlfVv73o

Andrew Harmel-Law interviews us about Effect Oriented Programming. youtu.be/Qds6rO9lxps?si…

@Mahadevkanike Thank you and I'm glad it helped. Unlikely; I use AI but have not delved in enough to consider writing a book. It's also changing too fast right now...

@BruceEckel Hi Bruce, I feel myself an engineer only after I read your ‘Thinking in C++’ book 20 years ago. First time I felt that a true engineer’s book. Looking forward to see a book on ‘Thinking in AI’. Is there a chance to book on AI?

Lots of new learning about how AI works and what you can do with it! creators.spotify.com/pod/show/happy… Note: a more reliable place to follow me for the future is where the sky above has no clouds.

We interview two members of the Pyrefly Python type checker. Podcast: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/ha… YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=huHF0R…

Learned all about the super fast ty Python type checker from @carljm for Happy Path Programming #114: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/ha… youtu.be/V1OmqEYoSz4

PyCon 2025 was well worth the trip. I did all things types, presenting at the typing summit and connecting with typing leaders we hope to interview on HappyPathProgramming.com. My presentation came from Chap 11 of my book-in-progress which you can find at thinkingintypes.com.

With composition, the object does what you want it to do, with inheritance, you must do what the base class wants you to do.

I will be at Pycon in Pittsburgh next week, arriving Thursday afternoon and leaving early Monday morning. Look me up/reach out if you're there. I will be speaking at the Typing Summit on Friday: "Make Illegal Types Unrepresentable"

Registration is open for the Winter Tech Forum, March 3-7 at the Crested Butte Center for the Arts in our ski town high up in the Colorado Rockies! Come engage in conversations with amazing people, with a full slate of activities, both indoor and outdoor! wintertechforum.com

Had a great discussion with Dave Thomas of "The Pragmatic Programmer" creators.spotify.com/pod/show/happy…

Had such a delightful chat with @nathansobo for Happy Path Programming #105! We talked about his journey to build the "ultimate code editor" and all the exciting stuff @zeddotdev is doing for developer collaboration and AI assistance. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/happy…

We interview the creator of the new Zed editor: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/happy…

I’m already attending the second talk about functional programming with Scala at @dev2next. This time by @BruceEckel @_JamesWard and Bill Frasure. Looks like I should give Scala another try 😅

Had an awesome time presenting at @dev2next about our book Effect Oriented Programming!

After 4 years in development, @BruceEckel, Bill Frasure, and I are excited to announce our Effect Oriented Programming book! "A paradigm for creating reliable, adaptable, testable systems" Podcast: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/happy… Available in mobile & print: effectorientedprogramming.com

They say never meet your heroes, but I have to disagree. Nearly 20 years after my first exposure to Thinking in C++ and Thinking in Java, it felt surreal to meet the person who inspired so much of my journey. Great meeting you, @BruceEckel! @dev2next

@sivalabs Thanks Siva! While we had to pick tech that is niche to explain the concepts, hopefully the concepts are learnable and as other Effect Systems emerge, that knowledge will be more generally applicable. I'd love to do a Kotlin & Arrow version of the book at some point.
