Great stuff, Brent. Very nice slides.
Only 2 points come to mind:
* on the slide about laziness, it might be nice to mention
that we can use laziness to trivially ensure workspaces are
only created on demand -- no wasted "space" tracking workspaces
you never use, as they come into existence when you index them
* on the slide about pure versus IO, page 32, i'd wrap the IO
partially around the pure layer, like a skin, or a topping on ice
cream, to emphasise that IO doesn't make its way down into the core
logic.
Good work, again!
