Pretty sure LambdaConf was the best conference I've been to. Mentally challenging, engaging and made me excited to program (and learn) again.
LambdaConf was amazing. Thanks to all the organizing staff for working so hard. Packed with content, yet beginner friendly and welcoming.
Ah, an awesome LambdaConf! so much food for thought, going to be thinking about this for months. Amazing talks and workshops!
Fantastic weekend at LambdaConf. Met some amazing people, well done to @jdegoes and rest of the staff on an event well done.
Last year I ended up being just a bit late to for Strange Loop tickets. Can't let that happen for LambdaConf, my current favorite conference
Feels like early Christmas - the LambdaConf 2015 video recordings were posted for early access backers! Can finally review the brilliance.
I had a great time LambdaConf 2015! Amazing talks and discussions of functional langs, plus hiking in beautiful Boulder!
The @elmlang workshop by @rtfeldman was a great wrap up to the amazing LambdaConf conference. Thanks to all who made both possible.
It's only my third conference ever, but LambdaConf has also had the best talks and workshops of the conferences I've been to.
LambdaConf was the best experience I've had at a conference. Thank you @jdegoes and everyone else for putting it together.
Epic, loved @puffnfresh's Idris workshop, mind-blowing wake up call. Whole thing reminds me of @strangeloop_stl in the best way
I pouted last year then regretted not going to StrangeLoop. However, I think LambdaConf is quickly overtaking StrangeLoop as my favorite.
Just registered for LambdaConf 2016. Looking forward to more excellent talks and people this year!
Bye-bye, Colorado. It was an awesome experience at LambdaConf. I hope I'll see you all next year.

Two years ago while hiking at Chautauqua Park at the end of LambdaConf, I first met Harold Carr. A fellow Lisper and a Jazz bass player, Harold is precise and relaxed. His main focus is a blockchain project that he works on at Oracle Labs.
LambdaConf is a brand of Fantasyland Institute of Learning, dedicated to the promotion of functional programming.
LambdaConf organizes an annual conference in Boulder, Colorado, which is one of the largest and most respected conferences on functional programming in the world. LambdaConf also hosts workshops, seminars, meetups, and retreats around the world, helping people everywhere find better ways of writing software through the magic of functional programming.
Functional programming is a radically different, more principled way to develop software that is easier to reason about, easier to compose, easier to test, and easier to change safely. Functional programming has novel approaches to software quality, security, concurrency, distribution, and agility, and functional techniques have been popularized in React, Akka, Spark, Promises, and other libraries.
LambdaConf is committed to globally spreading awareness of functional programming in industry, and making quality education accessible and affordable to everyone who has a passion for finding better ways to write software.
