ABSTRACT
It's hard coming back down to the earth of a #JVM based language after spending time with #Haskell and #OCaml. The type systems are enviable, and the abstractions available are incredibly powerful.
Yallop and White's paper on Lightweight Higher-Kinded Polymorphism has been an inspiration for many libraries seeking to add functional abstractions to languages that don't support them. For #Kotlin,§ one library is #Arrow, which provides incredibly powerful abstractions over native language capabilities like co-routines, reactive-streams and nullable types.
This talk will discuss functional programming in Kotlin with the #ArrowLibrary, how the abstractions it provides can improve your code, and how this magic that provides higher-kinded types works under the hood. [...]
