Presentation
The talk is about free monads and free applicatives. More concretely, I will present a DSL that uses a combination of both to create a DSL that has the full monadic power, but still allows the user to embed parts written using the free applicative interface. Those parts (free applicative) can then be analyzed and optimized during the program execution.
I plan to apply the idea to a case study thereby demonstrating how to combine free monads and free applicatives into a DSL which features some nice properties we can gain from embedding applicative parts, like static analyzability.

flatMap(Oslo) - A functional programming conference, with focus on Scala and the Java Virtual Machine.
On the 27th and 28th of April 2015, a group of enthusiasts organised the fourth flatMap(Oslo) conference. It was 2 amazing days. 100 attendees gathered for technical talks, workshops, discussions and craft beer. Feedback was great, and in 2016 we gather again for the 5th annual flatMap(Oslo). The goal for this year is the same. Small and intimate, but with high ambitions.
flatMap(Oslo) is organised by a group of developers from Arktekk – a small independent consultancy company based in Oslo, Norway. The financial goal for flatMap(Oslo) is to break even. Every penny we make will go into making the best conference possible. Together with our awesome sponsors we work hard to give you a conference tailored for enthusiasts of Scala and functional programming on the Java Virtual Machine.
