Darren Platt shares the story of a biotech platform developed using F# that oversees millions of liquid transfers and leads to a (living!) end product that manufactures the active ingredients of the Cannabis plant.
Biotech is a broad and demanding field for software development. It combines a messy domain, rapidly changing requirements and brutal timelines for software development that stress the software development life cycle. In the middle of this controlled software explosion, we have developed a platform using F# starting from a compiler that targets life itself, through to data management systems overseeing millions of liquid transfers a year. The end product of the lab engineering is a living organism (yeast based) that can manufacture the active ingredients in the Cannabis plant via fermentation. This talk will give a user-focused view into the types of problems we have to solve, and why F# and Fable have been good companions on this journey. Also why you don't want to be the only BASIC programming in a lab full of roaming monsters.
