Synopsis
This talk breaks down the key aspects of what defines functional programming and the key benefits of using FP paradigms. It provides a walkthrough on how to use more FP in your Kotlin code.
As well as covering some basic examples, it also goes into more complex data structures from Arrow, a Functional Programming library for Kotlin. When you walk away from this talk, you should be able to incorporate the tangible examples you have learned into your own Kotlin code.
