Concurrent streaming libraries, such as ZIO Streams, Akka Streams, and fs2, have provided a powerful tool for Scala developers everywhere to build correct and performant large-scale ETL workflows, event-driven architectures, and much more.However, to date, understanding these libraries require absorbing many different concepts--some of them unrelated and seemingly irreducible to others. As functional programmers, we  long to see compositional bases for new domains so we can truly and deeply understand them, and convince ourselves of the limits of their expressive power.

In this presentation, John A. De Goes, author of ZIO, reveals a new way to think about streams that is incredible elegant and immensely powerful. You will see how the concepts in streaming libraries can be distilled down to a simple and algebraic core that defines streaming. Whether you are a user of streaming libraries, or a developer for them, prepare to see the domain in a whole new way!
