HERP Partners as Gold Sponsor for Functional Programming Festival 2026

The esteemed company, HERP, headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has proudly announced its role as a Gold Sponsor for the upcoming Functional Programming Festival 2026, taking place on July 11th and 12th. This significant event is set to provide a platform for knowledge sharing and community engagement within the realm of functional programming.

Established in 2017 and led by CEO Ichiro Shoda, HERP has consistently adopted TypeScript and Haskell from the beginning, focusing on a type-centered development approach. While TypeScript remains the primary programming language, the company's recent projects, including the talent introduction service 'Job Mill,' incorporate Effect-TS, showcasing their commitment to integrating functional programming insights into their work.

A notable feature of this year’s festival is that a HERP engineer will take the stage during the public session, sharing their expertise on a compelling topic that bridges programming languages and advanced concepts. The session, titled "Discussions on Languages Designed with LLM in Mind," will be presented by Bisyōjo (@Nymphium) on July 12th, from 16:30 to 16:55 in Track C.

The Functional Programming Festival is not just an event; it is a beacon for the programming community, aiming to foster a dialogue around functional programming knowledge, skills, and advancements. Last year’s festival drew in a remarkable turnout with a total of 494 attendees and 48 speakers, whose diverse presentations were met with widespread enthusiasm and acclaim.

By becoming a Gold Sponsor, HERP aligns itself with the festival’s vision of transcending language community barriers, thus facilitating new opportunities for learning and interaction. This collaboration reflects HERP’s ongoing dedication to the growth of the technical community and its belief in the power of shared knowledge.
