This week we chat with Ivan Čukić about Functional Programming, despite him not wanting to be known as "The Functional Programming Guy", TMP and OO, and how he was taught C++ in high school.

How does Ivan balance writing books (in fact will he write another book?) and speaking at conferences internationally, while teaching full time at university?
