Combining type theory, language design, and empirical work, we present techniques for computing with large and dynamically changing datasets. Based on lambda calculus, our techniques are suitable for expressing a diverse set of algorithms on large datasets and, via self-adjusting computation, enable...
Work in progress; the last two chapters are not yet in the book. Got a ringing endorsement from [Uncle Bob Martin](http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/24/functional-programming-for-the-object-oriented-programmer.html).
The code is pretty much unreadable in the video, but you can follow along on GitHub:
