What are timelines and what do they have to do with functional programming?

Timelines are a system I developed for modeling time in a distributed system. You will find timelines whenever you have multiple machines, multiple processes, multiple threads, or multiple async callback chains. Since virtually all software is distributed these days, modeling time is more important than ever. Functional programming may not have all the answers, but it is asking the right questions. In this episode, we go over what timelines are and how you can start to use them to model time in your software.
