Marvels of Functional Programming - Launching Iron Man with Monads

Explore the marvels of functional programming and demystify monads in this 28-minute conference talk from Voxxed Days Singapore 2019. Dive into a comprehensive exploration of monads, their prevalence in modern programming languages, and their importance in functional programming paradigms. Learn how to compose marvels and functional programming through a Marvel case study, gradually unpacking concepts such as expressions, sum types, effects programming, composition, and monads. Discover how monads are implemented in various languages, including JavaScript, Java, C#, Scala, and Kotlin. Follow along as the speaker demonstrates monadic concepts using Scala code, Java code, pattern matching, and for comprehensions. Gain insights into object-oriented vs. functional programming, effects and monads, monadic parsers, and the definition of monads. By the end of this talk, develop a solid understanding of monads and their crucial role in functional programming.
