09/07/2018, 3:07 PMIn general, I recommend Jorge Castillo’s posts; he is a contributor in the Arrow library (a library that allows functional constructors on the top of the std-lib). Also, it’s helpful to review blogs and talks in functional programming in general (not necessarily related to Android)
