" summary

Starts by converting a real Python web-scraper into composable steps using map/filter/reduce, then shows how a single None/exception in chained transforms motivates Optional/functor ideas and safer error handling. That exercise leads a team to adopt Scala for the next phase, where students model state transitions (battery example) functionally and a small DSL appears; later work uses Servant (Haskell) for typed APIs. One C-to-Scala attempt fails because the learning curve is too steep.
