This talk by Alejandro Serrano Mena took place at Lambda World 2024 on October 4th, at the Palacio de Congresos in Cádiz, Spain.

Full Presentation Description:
Actions as data, continued:
Representing actions (processes, events) as a data type is a basic technique in functional programming, which unlocks a lot of potential. UI frameworks based on reducers, for example, build upon this idea. This technique has a big downside, though, as it forces to write actions using a style different from "regular" programming.
In this talk we see how Kotlin, and in particular its support for continuations / coroutines, allow us to get the best of both worlds: regular syntax that creates data underneath. This is a very different use case for continuations / coroutines than describing concurrent code. Even if you don't use Kotlin, this talk provides insight on how to use continuations to improve on DSLs.
