Design Principles From Functional Programming with Runar Bjarnason
Manage episode 197128764 series 1436861
Functional programming can improve the overall design of application architecture.
Runar Bjarnason has been exploring how writing in a functional style increases the modularity and compositionality of software for many years. He is co-author of Functional Programming in Scala, a book that explores the relationship between functional programming and software design.
In this interview with guest host Adam Bell, Runar explains how writing in a functional style involves limiting side effects, avoiding exceptions, and using higher-order abstractions. Writing in this style places constraints on what a module in a software system may do, but by constraining modules in this way, the software modules themselves become endlessly composable.
