Functional Networking
summary
Argues that refactoring a network layer into pure functions makes requests composable and testable, and demonstrates concrete tools and results: use of algebraic types like Either to eliminate impossible states, a suspended-effect type IO to turn callbacks into lazy values, an environment-based configuration so dependencies are injected, and a generator called both-openapi that creates a Swift package (installable via brew) which keeps client code in sync and supports retry policies including a maximum of ten retrials.
