DESCRIPTION
Unlock the power of data-oriented programming with this groundbreaking guide ‘Data-Oriented Programming: Reduce software complexity‘, introducing a paradigm that revolutionizes software design by representing data through generic immutable structures. DOP simplifies state management, streamlines concurrency and eradicates common issues in object-oriented code, all while offering language-agnostic flexibility. In this GOTO Book Club episode, author Yehonathan Sharvit spoke to James Lewis about how you can change the way you look at programming where code is clearer, state-related bugs are history, and your applications are more robust.

This conversation-driven book is complete with code snippets and diagrams about DOP and the best part—it's not bound to a single programming language, making it adaptable to JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Clojure and traditional languages like Java or C#. Learn to design data models for business entities and implement state management systems without mutating data. Discover how to separate code from data, write data-oriented unit tests, and specify the shape of your data, all while gaining a deeper understanding of these exciting new concepts.

The interview is based on the book "Data-Oriented Programming"

Cheers to the 14th trip around the sun of the language that’s made up of data! In this episode, Esko, Matti and Toni discuss Clojure, REPL, and how you can use them in your next project.

Guests

Matti Lankinen’s programming career started from the little boy's dream of making his own games. C++ was too hard at the time, so he started making his own programming language. It was never finished. (Hands up, who can relate?)

Toni Vanhala learned the alphabet by typing on the keyboard and copying BASIC programs his mother read aloud. A couple decades later, Toni got his Ph.D. after programming a custom gaze tracker, virtual humans that react to facial expressions, and a chair that senses emotions.

Host

Esko Lahti is an engineer who now works in the company that got him into Clojure. Now, his party trick at meetups is to rapid fire through an extensive list of parentheses jokes.

Category theory may strike you as intimidating, but trust us, you can (and after this episode, are probably itching to) talk applicative functors and parser combinators over afterwork drinks. Listen in to learn why Esko and Antti – both of whom started programming with dynamically typed languages – are so into category theory right now that they see applications of it everywhere.

Guest

Antti Holvikari is endlessly fascinated by pure functional programming languages such as Haskell and PureScript. Software quality and personal productivity are two things he’s constantly improving.

Host

Esko Lahti is an engineer who always wanted to learn about category theory in practice – but never knew where to start. Then he met Antti Holvikari.
