# arrow

[Benoît]

Hey guys, sorry this question might have been asked a few times already, but what’s the best way to learn arrow for someone that knows basic FP concepts?

[pakoito]

Hi Benoit! What would you like to know?

[pakoito]

My suggestion is to dip your toes in the water, use Either for a bit and see the pain points...and the solutions for them

[Benoît]

I have used Either for a while, NonEmptyList as well but that's about it. I'd like to use more from Arrow but I don't really know where to start

[pakoito]

Okay, I believe I understand. There’s no large story/framework around arrow (yet?) so as a collection of helpers and features the MO is to identify a pain point and then look in the lib if there’s a solution. You don’t need to buy into everything, and it complements kx.coroutines well

[pakoito]

so if you find yourself updating deeply nested structures there’s optics

[pakoito]

if you want parallelization there’s parTraverse and parSequence

[pakoito]

if you want sequencing with Either/Result and the rest you have the comprehension blocks

[pakoito]

if you have complex data/thread operations that require multiple operators we can come up with a solution together in this channel, we’ve done it for years 😄

[Benoît]

Thanks a lot for all this Paco 😄
