Many of us are really into the paradigms of functional programming. Whether we like streams, mappings, pure functions or just the immutability of variables and objects. But can you use a modern functional programming language like Clojure for web applications? How does it feel when you write HTML with a functional language and which benefits is the backend going to have?

This talk provides a look at a web framework called Component in Clojure, dives into the world of lambda expression, and shows how to develop a WebShop-app with this framework. A live demo and coding will complete our functional lookout.
