This was one of the reasons I wrote my book, and one source of inspiration for me was the work of F# evangelist Scott Wlashin.

For many years, Scott has been showing how he applies functional thinking in his daily practice centered around e-commerce, through blog posts on his popular site and his talks at programming conferences. At popular request, he's organized these ideas into his…

Functional programming seemed to exist as its own entity, heavily rooted in academia, and not as pragmatic compared to object-oriented programming. With my experience in mainstream languages like C++, C#, and Python, I possessed a rich toolbox for creating high-quality software in those paradigms.

I had learned various architectural approaches, design patterns, and software development principles that were mostly applicable to object-oriented programming but appeared less suitable for functional programming.

However, I began…
