In this episode I talk with David Christiansen. We talk his introduction to functional programming, research in dependent types, Idris, Nuprl and LFC traits, work to add dependent types to macro-expansion in Racket, and much, much more. <h2>Our Guest, David Christiansen</h2> <a href="https://twitter.com/d_christiansen" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">@d_christiansen</a> on Twitter <a href="http://davidchristiansen.dk/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">http://davidchristiansen.dk/</a> <h3>Conference Announcements</h3> RacketCon is October 7th &amp; 8th at the University of Washington, with keynote speakers Dan Friedman and Will Byrd.
