 Functional conference has been amazing to me because I've been able to make connections that I think are going to last me a lifetime. I think that when you put on a conference and you love the speakers well, they turn around and love the attendees well, and I think that's what happens here. It's pretty amazing, actually. We'll see people that are just starting to put a toe in the water of functional programming and don't really know how to think in terms of functions and are still trying to make a transition from object-oriented to people who have been coding for Haskell for years and years and years, and that's interesting for me because it allows it allows a breath in the audience so that they can tap into my ideas at many different levels. I really enjoyed this experience.
