Tech Talks are in-depth technical discussions.

Today's interview is with John A De Goes. We talk about performance problems with monad transformer on the jvm, various flavours of IO monads and reasoning about polymorphic type signatures. On the lighter side of things, we discuss how to write technical articles well, flame wars and Zee vs Zed pronunciation.
