FP Recap and Generics
- Functional programming (FP) emphasizes pure functions, transforming them through composition and currying.
- It applies these concepts to programming with sequences like lists and arrays using map, flat map, filter, and zip operations.
Generics and Type Safety
- Generics in Go allow for type parameterization, enabling a single function to operate on various types.
- This eliminates the need for code generation or reflection, providing compile-time type safety and reducing code duplication.
Adopting Generics in FP Libraries
- Existing FP libraries in Go should adopt generics for easier implementation and stronger type guarantees.
- This shift provides compile-time type safety, reduces code, and extends guarantees to library users.
