Async - Await for the Monadic Programmer

Explore asynchronous programming concepts in this Scala Days 2023 Seattle conference talk. Delve into the world of async/await and its relationship to monadic programming, particularly with Futures. Gain insights into the rationale behind async/await, understand its underlying mechanics, and discover why it's a compelling technique for handling asynchronous computations. Compare async/await with monadic approaches, examining their respective strengths and use cases. Learn how to navigate async/await in languages that support it, and understand its potential implications for Scala development. Benefit from practical examples and explanations that bridge the gap between traditional monadic programming and the async/await paradigm, enhancing your ability to work with asynchronous code across different programming languages and paradigms.
