All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this video.⬐ dustinmorisScott Wlaschin is one of my favourite tech speakers of all time. Every single talk I've seen by him has been excellent in explaining rather confusing topics in a really simple and innovative manner. His material was my goto source when I was learing functional programming and I'm not sure if I would have ever gotten even excited about it if it wasn't for one of his talks.Follow him on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ScottWlaschin

⬐ MbaqangaI wish I could find videos of people actually writing complex functional programming code. These talks seem to just reiterate the same things and all example code is too simple for me to be able to visualize using it in our code base to the extreme that they are talking about⬐ AheadOfTime295⬐ kristianpMany videos exist on writing servers using FP libraries. A few search keywords for Scala: ZIO, Cats, fs2.A beginner tutorial using a command-line application as case study:
Is there a non video version of this please? Would be quicker to read an article than a 1 hour talk.⬐ Waterluvian⬐ slifinI hear you. But don't forget about the ability to 2x videos. It's almost exclusively how I watch educational content (but you have to intensely focus)⬐ richardhod⬐ aasasdEven 1.25,or 1.5 helps, with less cognitive squeezeThere are slides from older conferences, but the author points out that he goes through the patterns as fast as he can in the videos.⬐ kodHe wrote a book:https://pragprog.com/book/swdddf/domain-modeling-made-functi...
⬐ BoiledCabbageSlightly more info, but doesn't compare to the video.Be-careful when learning "FP" that you're not just learning your chosen language's idea of FPIt can often be a large investment to learn these concepts only to find it's only scala or Haskell or w/e does FP "that way" is frustrating
When starting out I recommend checking if the pattern exists in many different FP language types first

The Functional Programmer's Toolkit - Scott Wlaschin (2019)
⬐ james_s_taylerThis is exactly the resources I've been looking for to advance my understanding of how to accomplish certain things in FP before trying to learn it wholesale.I have his book Domain Modelling Made Functional as it comes very highly recommended. I haven't gotten to it yet, but I'm even more excited for it now after watching this.
> What are your thoughts on languages like Haskell?I'm planning learn some functional language this year. There is a lot of Haskell developers in Rust community who came for performance and some ties to functional programming. I've just seen presentation about patterns in functional languages (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8I19uA-wGY - strongly recommended) and I like it so far. Getting hardware mechanics out of your way is amazing boost for productivity (I know that from using python).
> dismissing the value of languages like C is the worse of the two mistakes to make
I have Rust now for things that must be fast and low-level, so I do not need C anymore. It served us well, but a lot has changed since it was invented.
⬐ TheSockStealerI want to punch that guy who is laughing way too much. His jokes are kinda funny, but not that funny.⬐ Cyph0n⬐ aryehofThere's always that one guy! I agree, he's quite annoying, but he made me laugh to be honest. At 4:20, he gets pretty crazy!⬐ NoneNoneGood video, but I wish I could find a video that helps OO programmers begin to think in an object-oriented way. Most OO programmers don't.⬐ dangPlease don't rewrite titles unless they are misleading or linkbait. That's in the site rules:⬐ rawkode⬐ hxegonNoted. Won't happen againI just watched this a couple of days ago. Great video :)⬐ nickpetersonScott Wlaschin is excellent, and his website http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ is great in general.
