Real-world functional programming at Jane Street

Nearly two million lines of OCaml code and sixty full-time OCaml coders. Functional programming on Linux reigns supreme at Jane Street, a trading firm with offices in London, New York and Hong Kong. Come and hear about how you can use functional languages to write reliable, large-scale, distributed software.

Followed by drinks courtesy of Jane Street.

Here is a handy map for finding Catz: http://g.co/maps/eeut2 The Arumugan building is the fancy name of the lodge, we will be in the room facing the car park on the first floor. We’ll put up some signs in the lodge (which is that big glass building straight in front of you as you walk into catz) to the room.

If you get truly lost in Catz, you can call Ben on 0754 999 3401. The talk starts at 2015.
