+# Transducers: finally, ergonomic data processing for Emacs!

+
+Transducers are an ergonomic and extremely memory-efficient way to process a
+data source. Here "data source" means simple collections like Lists or
+Vectors,
+but also potentially large files or generators of infinite data.
+
+Transducers&#x2026;
+
+- allow the chaining of operations like map and filter without allocating memory between each step.
+- aren't tied to any specific data type; they need only be implemented once.
+- vastly simplify "data transformation code".
+- have nothing to do with "lazy evaluation".
+- are a joy to use!
+
+In this talk, Colin will introduce Transducers, show how to use them, and
+demonstrate some Emacs-specific workflows that make live processing of large
+data sets in JSON and CSV a breeze.
+
+About the speaker:
+
+Colin has been active in the FOSS world since 2011, publishing libraries and
+applications primarily in Haskell and Rust. Since 2023 he has been using
+Lisps
+more and more, and after falling in love with Transducers from Clojure has
+ported the pattern to three other Lisps.
+
+Colin is originally from Canada and lives in Japan.
