Keynote: Functorio - having fun with functional programming

If you didn't know about functional programming, you could have discovered it yourself... playing the game called Factorio. I was fascinated by this world-building game and discovered that it inadvertently illustrated a lot of functional programming ideas. I was immediately able to identify functions, function objects, and functors. Then I started speculating about what features I would add to the game to implement applicatives, monads, algebras, etc. I want to share the fun of discovery with you.
