Why TechTrain is Supporting

TechTrain supports Functional Programming Matsuri 2026 because we deeply resonate with its mission: creating an accessible and welcoming space where engineers from all backgrounds can freely learn and exchange knowledge about functional programming—an area often perceived as difficult or intimidating.

Functional programming concepts are now deeply embedded in modern development, from React Hooks to Rust’s ownership model. Yet many engineers still feel disconnected, thinking, "This doesn’t apply to me." For early-career developers, the barrier can be especially high. TechTrain’s core philosophy—"practical learning" and "connecting with experienced engineers"—aligns perfectly with the spirit of this conference.

We believe Functional Programming Matsuri 2026 can serve as a gateway for engineers to explore new technical perspectives, and we are proud to support this event as a PR sponsor.
