# Vitaly Bragilevsky
Rust ecosystem lead at JetBrains exploring functional programming and language adoption.

## About

Vitaly leads the Rust ecosystem at JetBrains. He focuses on programming languages and promotes functional programming principles, arguing that minimizing mutation leads to more reliable software.

As the author of "Haskell in Depth", Vitaly regularly explores how different language paradigms solve real-world problems. His work covers practical engineering challenges, particularly how organizations map out Rust adoption, handle migration tradeoffs, and decide when a language actually fits a given project.
