+# Really Functional Data Structures
+
+Last time, David showed us functional data structures in the form of
+*persistent data structures*. In this talk, I want to show you data
+structures that are defined entirely by functions themselves -- no
+classes, structs, bitmaps, etc.! Knowing about such structures not only
+tickles the brain, but can also lead to a better intuition for solving
+problems functionally. Also, one of the data structures shown can be
+used for space-efficient encodings of fractals and animations.
