Exploring Common Algebraic Data Types Used in Functional Programming

This collection intends to provide viewers with examples of the different Algebraic Data Types that are commonly used in programming. All of these ADTs can be found within the Fantasy Land specification which consists of common algebraic data types used in the realm of web development. By adhering to the different laws that each ADT is built upon, users of the spec are provided with interoperability when using different algebras, ultimately providing them with an incredibly powerful set of tools.
