Optics from the ground up

Optics are a part of FP that have long frightened me – they sound so intellectual and hard and out of reach!

Turns out though, once you actually sit down and study them, optics are surprisingly simple.

The purpose of this talk is not to make anyone an optics expert, but to demystify them and show people that they’re as useful as they’re easy to grasp.

Attendants would ideally be able to read idiomatic Scala code and know what an ADT is.
