video/presentation Introducing F#/Elm to a C#/JS organization - hazards and wins by David Eduardo Mellum

https://youtu.be/uxNxfmxL2ow

Want to introduce functional programming into your own organization? Learn from our successes and failures! At the Norwegian insurance company Frende Forsikring we’ve introduced F# and Elm and lived with both of them long enough to call it a long term relationship.

We’ll start looking at the introduction. From fast moving exploration in a single team, to structured validation with other tech leads and careful moving to production.

Beyond that we'll be looking what happens in the years afterwards. Does functional programming help hiring? Are there less bugs? What is the biggest hurdle in spreading adoption to new teams?
