 All right, good morning. At least people here are awake. So I've been told that functional programmers don't wake up early in the morning. This is too, like this is midnight for people. But we generally prefer to start on time and finish on time so that we don't punish people who show up on time, right? So we're gonna keep the tradition. As soon as Amit is back, we're gonna kick it off. Just a quick introduction. So, I mean, I'm gonna come back a little later, to talk about some of the logistics and things like that that you need to know about the conference. But before that, we'll start with the keynote. Amit Rathaur is gonna be doing the keynote. Amit and I worked maybe 10 years ago at ThoughtWorks together. He's gone on to do some pretty interesting startups and stuff like that. So I thought it'd be a good way to kick off the conference with him, talking about how functional languages and the whole thinking process has actually helped them with their startups. And that's basically what his talk is, startups in the battle of survival. So I'm just gonna wait for a minute for Amit to show up and then we're gonna kick it off. There he is. I already introduced you. Told all the dirty secrets about you. So now the bar is very low for you to get started. Thank you. Okay, so since the introduction is already over, I will skip most of it. But anyway, just since I have the slides and I can't just, you know. So a long time ago, I wrote this book and had a good time writing it and using closure for many years. Unfortunately, you know, the things have changed quite a bit since then. And by the way, I mean it's, I'm gonna ramble this presentation is going to be all over the place. And you know, so when you're up like at 2 a.m., 3 a.m., trying to finish the presentation, you know, there's just too much clip art on the internet. Have you ever seen that? Notice that? I mean, how do you decide which ones to use? It's just, this took me half an hour to pick, like. Really distracting. Anyway, so I've been using closure for a long time and been doing startups. Had a couple of successful ones and I'm on my third. And again, this time, it's all closure and it's called Quintype. And we'll talk a little bit about that, but you know, it's co-founded with this guy called Raghav who has been in the media space for a long, long time and we are building a next generation publishing platform. So, anyway, this talk is not.
