Thanks for the encouragement! Can’t thank John A De Goes and Courtney De Goes enough for making LambaConf happen

Real World ZIO with Wiem🇵🇸 at LambdaConf 2025! Neat to see ZIO in action, especially the recently added STM support

Game programming in Elm at LambdaConf 2025! One of my favorite talks! Learned some neat tricks from Jordy Moos’s FP approach to game programming
