Explore functional programming design principles using morphisms in this 45-minute conference talk from Devoxx. Delve into the evolution of programming paradigms, from procedural to object-oriented, and now to functional programming. Discover how category theory and mathematical concepts like morphisms and functors can be applied to everyday programming tasks. Learn how functional programming can potentially increase productivity compared to standard design approaches. Examine concrete examples from real-world scenarios that demonstrate the practical application of theoretical functional programming concepts. Gain insights into how categories, functors, and natural transformations can naturally emerge from code, and understand how comprehending these concepts can lead to improved software design.
