Gaëtan Renaudeau on Procedural vs. Functional Rendering

I've been trying to get Gaëtan Renaudeau to speak at the Gamelier for a long time... ever since I saw the excellent work he's done on illuminated.js. His excellent blog is rich with crazy web experiments involving the new Web Audio API, WebRTC, and a new WebGL library called GLSL. At his day job at Zenexity, he contributes to the Java-based Play Framework.

In this presentation, he contrasted two different approaches for graphical rendering, and explains the advantages of the "functional" approach.
