Composable application architecture with reasonably priced monads
Most of us have an experience of functional programming that is isolated to small libraries or specific immutable data structures. But can we design our entire application architecture in a purely functional way? Can we do "aspect-oriented" programming with cross-cutting concerns that are compositional and checked by the type system? Yes we can, and in this talk we will look at a conceptually simple recipe for making that happen. We will see that the best things in Scala are Free.
