I spoke about 'Purely Functional Data structures' at Functional Conference 2014 in Bangalore. These are my slides with an extra section on further study. This talk is based on Chris Okasaki's book title Purely Functional Data Structures. The gist is that immutable and persistent data structures can be designed without sacrificing performance.

- 18. x = 5 y = x + 1 pr!nt x x = [1,2] y = x << 3 pr!nt x 5 is immutable [1,2] is NOT!
- 19. x = [1,2] foo(x) x ("et [x [1 2]] (foo x) x) What is x now? What is x now?
