    We promise there will be plenty of awkward pauses, obscure jargon, and jokes that only we find funny as we deliver another podcast of PURE delight. EITHER Whether you're a die-hard functional programming fan or you're still trying to figure out what all the fuss is about, this podcast is the LAZY evaluation you need. We PIPE our conversation through the ether. Don't forget about immutability - because changing data is so last season!

    Also sorry about the dog barking but this was past me.
