The secret to introducing people to scary-sounding concepts like Free Monads in #swiftlang is in never mentioning these two words until the very end of the presentation.

I think I managed to successfully trick the audience into thinking we were simply describing effects with enums, until finally revealing that we’d actually learned something that *supposedly* requires a PhD in Computer Science to understand (spoiler: it really doesn’t!).

Well done, Alex! It was a fun and engaging talk, and I think you actually managed to pull off what you set out to do. 10/10, would recommend to anyone.
