Welcome, devs! Let's gather together and share knowledge and expertise on functional programming!
How can functions help us solve common problems? The principles of functional programming philosophy as a rescue service for complex computable problems.
Purecode welcomed everyone interested in the practical applications of functional programming and eager to learn more. Elixir, Erlang, Haskell, and other FP language developers joined us and shared further information with their peers.
We believe in code as we believe in humans and we want to build better code that provides for a better humanity. Join us at the next meeting to network over beer and snacks if you enjoy discussing your code with other programmers.
Meet the lecturers

Simon works with IOG on languages for distributed application development, including Marlowe and Plutus, as well as audit and certification for DApps. He is also a researcher and educator in function programming at the Universities of Kent and ELTE Budapest, and has published textbooks on Erlang, Haskell and type theory.
Software Developer at Quanterall
Georgi is experienced in designing and implementing backend architectures and has taken part in implementing multiple software solutions in Quanterall. The moment he was introduced to Elixir he found functional programming to be plain awesome. Since then he enjoys utilizing the functional way of writing code for any problem.
Core Developer at æternity Crypto Foundation
Dimitar is a software engineer from Bulgaria. He has been part of the AE core team for the past 5 years. Initially a crypto sceptic, Dimitar turned into a crypto enthusiast. All questions regarding technology are welcome but please no questions "Should I buy X?"
Senior Elixir Developer/DevOps at Eiger
Nikolay (or Meddle) is a developer with a lot of experience in different fields, programming languages and tools. He is interested in Elixir, because of its practicality and concurrency, and everything to do with functional programming, type theory, lambda calculus and data-driven approaches. Nikolay co-created the "Functional programming in Elixir" course at Sofia University and is part of its team and cause. He is also a musician and a poet
Staff Engineer at SumUp
Becoming aware of the limitations of Java is what sparked Ivan's interest in functional programming and writing code in a way that can be both satisfying and results driven. Having built a solid base for his professional tech experience in the UK, he was eager to return to Bulgaria and continue implementing and developing his expertise. For the past few years he has been a valuable part of the Global Bank Tribe at SumUp.
Software Developer at Quanterall
Valentin's professional journey began with PHP and OOP, but through the magical experience of attending conferences, he has been made aware of the existence of functional languages. From then on, his view on programming changed, and the more pleasant part of his professional life began.
Purecode was аll аbout functional programming talks. Here are the main topics:
