In this episode I talk with Radu Popescu. We talk his introduction to software development, high performance C++, where functional ideas fit in with high performance C++, CernVM File System, Erlang, an overview of where Rust fits between functional languages and C++, and more.Our Guest, Radu Popescuradupopescu on Github@iradupopescu on Twitterhttps://radupopescu.net/Conference AnnouncementsLambdUp, Prague’s biggest functional programming event of the year, will be taking place December 16th at MeetFactory in Prague.
