Applicative and Monadic Contextual Validation (or, My First Functional Context Validator)

Using the power of Applicatives and Monads, we explore how to adapt an existing validation library (checklist) so that it is now able to mix and match different functional execution contexts (eg: Future, Task, IO, Id, etc.). This is done transparently and seamlessly for the library user.

I presented "An introduction to Slick", "An introduction to Scala.js" and an early version of the talk I intend to present called "My first funcional validator" (Slides in Spanish: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1eLrQFgjNSP_Qk-8BVwUEJtn3tvK38KgPbhCK-Ffykyk/edit?usp=sharing)
