Is it my biased view because I was in academia at that time, or was there a spike of interest around functional programming in the 2010s?
My YouTube recommendations ended up in a nostalgic rabbit hole of conference talks from 5-10 years ago (Strange Loop, Curry On, Papers We Love, Clojure conference talks, etc.)
Has the hype cooled down again and all the cool kids who were doing Haskell are now doing Rust, or am I just looking in a different direction?
