A summary of the main concepts and techniques
We started with the basics — expressions, statements, and understanding what makes a function “pure.” We learned how to write clear, easy-to-read code without side effects.
Next, we looked at handling errors in a functional way. We saw how using types such as Result and methods such as Railway Oriented Programming can help us write strong, error-resistant code without using exceptions.
We then moved on to higher-order functions and delegates. These tools let us treat functions as first-class citizens, which helps us write more abstract and reusable code.
We also covered functors and monads, breaking down these complex ideas to show how they can help manage complexity in our programs.
Recursion and tail calls were another important topic. We learned how to think about problems in a recursive way and how to optimize these recursive functions.
Currying and partial application taught us how to make more specialized...
