FP Fundamentals

As part of the some FP mentoring sesions we have developed a very simple project (in Scala, Kotlin and Swift) that basically shows how to express the behavior of your program using type classes: Combinator, Transformer, Lifter and Flattener, which are basically a simpler version of Semigroup, Functor, Applicative and Monad.

Scala3

• Step 0: Foundations
• Step 1: Create data type Maybe
• Step 2: Create type class Combinator
• Step 3: Add syntax for Combinator
• Step 4: Create type class Transformer (with syntax)
• Step 5: Create type class Transformer2
• Step 6: Create type class Lifter
• Step 7: Create type class Flattener
• Step 8: Use monadic structure
• Step 9: Use Option
• Step 10: Generic F-program
