The Power of Composition

Talkat NDC Oslo 2018 · 2018-06-11..06-15· [functional-programming]
slides:none on file

Begins with concrete F# techniques: currying and partial application to turn multi-arg functions into composable one-arg pieces, then uses a pipeline style to chain helpers. Demonstrates a FizzBuzz implemented as a two-track “railway” flow, a Roman-numeral converter built from curried replace steps, and an object-free web app assembled from Suave web parts that compose and match routes. Explains error/async handling via a monad bind adapter so everything composes; the examples compile and run.
