I've just published “Functional Programming Ideas for the Curious Kotliner” https://leanpub.com/fp-ideas-kotlin

Kotlin lies in a really interesting intersection of programming styles, with functional programming becoming increasingly popular. Functional style is by no means new, so why not take advantage of the decades of ideas, concepts, and patterns from that community? In this book we explore those ideas with a higher impact on Kotlin code, including how to model data in immutable fashion, describing dependencies using contexts and effects, or treating actions as data.

Hi Alejandro, is there any repository with code from the book? I would like to get some overview what’s inside.

[Alejandro Serrano Mena]

unfortunately not, but I could try to make it available

[ipolyzos]

is it using some effect library like arrow or is everything implemented from scratch?
Im taking a break from work and wanted to spend the time to play around with some project and im thinking whether i should go back to Scala, use kotlin or go and learn some Rust.
My gut keeps me to go with kotlin and want to play around with some FP and coroutines

[Alejandro Serrano Mena]

this describes mostly bare Kotlin with the additional reference to Arrow
