Swiss Python Summit 2026

The Swiss Python Summit takes place on October 22nd and 23rd, 2026, at the OST campus in Rapperswil, Switzerland. Our colleague Christoph Gietl contributes to the conference program with a talk titled „Eliminate Hidden Exceptions via Railway-Oriented Programming“. In his session, he introduces Railway-Oriented Programming (ROP), a paradigm that enables type-safe control flow by making all domain outcomes explicit in function signatures using a Result type instead of exceptions. Christoph Gietl compares three open-source libraries - expression, returns, and trcks - and demonstrates how to apply ROP in both synchronous and asynchronous code. The talk targets developers familiar with type annotations and static type checking in Python.
