 I was reading about the conference on the internet and the goals for the conference inspired me and I thought that these are great goals to help other people learn more about functional programming. As a speaker of the conference, it's a great platform for me. I have a personal vested interest in making FP more popular because then I get to hire more people and then I have more opportunities available and I get to meet interesting people here. I've never been to India before. I got here, I found lovely people, happy to talk and share ideas. So as a first-time speaker at functional conference, of course I was a bit intimidated because it was a 90-minute session. This is the first time I'm talking on any conference for that matter. So yes, for the first time it is always nervousness would be there. So even I did feel nervous. But I think the program committee was really helpful. They had a shepherding session in which they very experienced people actually went over my presentation and gave me feedback, which is very, very necessary for me. Francisco from Erlang Solution validated my content. So I was pretty confident with the content. About the presentation, yes, I was nervous. But I think it went pretty well. So the first beginners, I think I would rate 8 out of 10. So yes, it was a nice experience. People are coming here with an open mind and since I'm presenting a topic which I'm fairly comfortable with and people are willing to learn and they have come here with the expectation of learning, I think the overall experience was really good. When I get here I find people who are at various stages in their learning journeys and it feels to me like just a team of people who are collaborating to help each other lift their knowledge and skills, wherever they may be in that journey. Whether it's people who have never seen functional programming in their life to people who have been doing it for a long time, it just feels good.
