about the book
am well versed into functional programming and and writing F# regularly and Clojure semi-regularly so I would buy the book primarily to learn how to use Arrow. not that there is nothing that I can learn about function programming but if I would buy it I would buy it because of Arrow, it’s truly a Kotlin marble. but now with 2.0 coming how relevant will the book be?

Me & @Alejandro Serrano Mena wrote a couple of guest chapters on Arrow, but the majority of the book is not about Arrow. The biggest change to FP in Kotlin will be context receivers not 1.x.x -> 2.x.x IMO. There is some good content around talking about this, https://leanpub.com/fp-ideas-kotlin
And talks on YouTube as well,
Ktor Applications, linked at point where I talk about Arrow + Context Receiversâ–¾
Graceful Shutdown with Structured Concurrency Resource Safety + Arrow DSLsâ–¾
Context Receivers Secret Sauceâ–¾
Functional Error handling, end shows new patternsâ–¾

Exactly, it is only the guest big chapter, that has been divided into 3 marvelous articles. The rest of the book is connected to Functional Programming in Kotlin.
